Stardates Explained - 20110221.2332

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20110221.2332

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2011 02 21 . 23 32

That better?

20110221 means 21st February 2011, and 2332 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 11:32PM

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