Stardates Explained - 20180422.2359

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20180422.2359

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2018 04 22 . 23 59

That better?

20180422 means 22nd April 2018, and 2359 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 11:59PM

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