Description dacuetu 2013-11-28 09:24:53 UTC 
The Julian Date (not to be confused with "Julian calendar" or "Julian year") is a count of the number of days that passed from Jan 1st −4712 (4713 bc) 12:00h. For instance, Nov 6, 2013, 03:28:53 h UT becomes 2456602.64506 JD. It is widely use in astronomy to refer to events and epochs.
