Stardates Explained - 20200922.0000

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20200922.0000

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2020 09 22 . 00 00

That better?

20200922 means 22nd September 2020, and 0000 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 12:00 midnight

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