https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/time/index.html defines several time formats. It is unclear from the documentation whether the output is always Gregorian (or if it becomes julian prior to a certain date). The documentation should be fixed to specify this clearly.

Can I pick this up? This will be my first issue in astropy so I would be comfortable with this one.

@SiddharthaAnand , thanks for your interest! Nothing stops you from attempting a pull request. Please read through https://docs.astropy.org/en/latest/#developer-documentation first, if you haven't already. 😃

@pllim if you could tell the exact line where you want the changes, i would like to fix this.

@NikitaTewary - the hope with doc contributions is that you can identify the correct place and make a proposed update with new text, without explicit instructions from the experienced developers.
