MJD (Modified Julian Date)
MJD (Modified Julian Date) – A day numbering system derived from the julian date. It was introduced to set the beginning of days at 0 hours, instead of 12 hours and to reduce the number of digits in day numbering. The modified julian date is obtained subtracting 2.400.000,5 from the julian date. As a consequence, the origin of this date (day zero) begin at 1858 November 17 at 0 hours. For example, 1996 January 1 at 0 hours began the modified julian day 50,083.
