Float64 Julian Date from AstroTime

Specific Domains Astro/Space

I can use AstroTime julian(UTCEpoch(2020,12,24,12,0,0.0)) to give me 2.459208e6 days. How do I turn that into a simple float? Float64() gives an error.

I’m sure I’m missing something simple. Thanks in advance.

value(julian(UTCEpoch(2020,12,24,12,0,0.0)))

or have a look at julian_period
