Stardates Explained - 20091218.2330

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20091218.2330

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2009 12 18 . 23 30

That better?

20091218 means 18th December 2009, and 2330 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 11:30PM

Stardates in the Star Trek universe work in an entirely different way. Wikipedia has a good explanation on how Stardates work.
