Stardates Explained - 20130510.0917

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20130510.0917

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2013 05 10 . 09 17

That better?

20130510 means 10th May 2013, and 0917 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 9:17AM

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