The date 0409·01·MO is New Year’s Day in the Ceres Calendar. Wish everyone and everything in the [Asteroid Belt][1], [Jupiter][2], [Saturn][3] and [beyond][4] a belated Happy New Year by writing a program to convert Julian Dates (JD) to Ceres Dates using these helpful landmarks:

`CMJD` stands for Ceres Modified JD, a convenient offset. `CMJD` is related to `JD` by the formula:

 CMJD = JD - 2309103.5

The Ceres Calendar has 52 weeks (01 - 52) of seven days, with Monday (MO) as the first day of the week, the rest are TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, & SU and the time synchronized to UTC formatted as HH:MM or HH:MM:SS. There are no leap days in the Ceres Calendar.

\* The Ceres Dates lacking times are only known to the day, so as a convention the middle of the day `12:00` is chosen as the time. Displaying `12:00` for these cases is perfectly acceptable.

Note that the Calendar starts on the Monday before Galileo discovered his satellites, that’s to have the start of the calendar on a Monday to correspond to the [ISO 8601][5] start of the week. The discovery of the Galilean Satellites is more important to them than the Discovery of Ceres but not so important as to mess up the start of the week or the start of the year! That’s just how they roll!

Your program must convert `JD ≥ 0.000` to `Ceres Date` in the format above, using `-` (U+2212 MINUS SIGN) and `·` (U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT) as required. Especially for those using ASCII-only languages, you can substitute `~` (U+007E TILDE) and `*` (U+002A ASTERISK) for the minus sign and middle dot, respectively. The format for dates beyond `9999·52·SU` is undefined.

Here’s a [handy page][6] to convert to Julian Dates and lots of other useful information.

This is [tag:code-golf], so shortest answer in bytes wins.

If this is an answer to a challenge…

…Be sure to follow the challenge specification. However, please refrain from exploiting obvious loopholes. Answers abusing any of the standard loopholes are considered invalid. If you think a specification is unclear or underspecified, comment on the question instead.
…Try to optimize your score. For instance, answers to code-golf challenges should attempt to be as short as possible. You can always include a readable version of the code in addition to the competitive one. Explanations of your answer make it more interesting to read and are very much encouraged.
…Include a short header which indicates the language(s) of your code and its score, as defined by the challenge.

More generally…

…Please make sure to answer the question and provide sufficient detail.
…Avoid asking for help, clarification or responding to other answers (use comments instead).
