Stardates Explained - 20170509.1900

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20170509.1900

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2017 05 09 . 19 00

That better?

20170509 means 9th May 2017, and 1900 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 7:00PM

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