New Horizon Daily Report

Part 2
July 23 - August 13, 2005

The reports from the ship's captain list the day of the month, followed by the time when the measurements were taken, the name of the month, and the year.
 
For example, 261900ZJuly2005 means that the measurements were taken on the 26th of July, 2005.   The 1900 on the 24 hour clock is 7:00pm.  The Z stands for Zulu Time, also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and Universal Time Coordinated (UTC).  Zulu Time is 7 hours ahead of Pacific Daylight Time.  1900Z is 12:00 pm (noon) Pacific Daylight Time.
 
So, 261900ZJuly 2005 means July 26, 2005 at 12:00 noon, Pacific Daylight Time.
