How this topic cluster is organized
This hub is responsible for broad-intent searches: what a Julian date is, what today’s Julian date is, and what kind of Julian date a user likely means. That makes it the right landing page for general and “today” queries without creating duplicate intent pages.
The child pages exist only when the task changes. The converter page is for conversion-heavy intent. The calendar section is for reference-heavy intent. That keeps the cluster deep without drifting into thin content.
