WEAVE, the powerful multi-object spectrograph recently installed on the William Herschel Telescope (WHT), started science observations in October 2023. Over 500 hours of science observations have been taken with the Large Integral Field Unit (LIFU) mode in the first ∼10 months of observations, sharing nights with further technical and commissioning work on the multi-object and mini-integral-field modes. With processed data flowing to the scientists since February 2024, we are getting valuable feedback for the preparation of a second full processing of all the science data taken to date, and are encouraged by the preparation of the first science papers based on WEAVE data.
