Stardates Explained - 20190528.1900

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20190528.1900

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2019 05 28 . 19 00

That better?

20190528 means 28th May 2019, 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.
