The calendar says the dates will be
Thursday June 12, 2053
Friday June 13, 2053
Saturday June 14, 2053
Sunday June 15, 2053

However, in actuallity, the Thursday times start on Stardate 4531.5, which has been carefully calculated as a function not only of time but of the earth's position in the galaxy and its velocity at that point. I wish I could explain how this Stardate was derived, but it would take volumes to explain a timekeeping system such as this with its breathtaking complexity.
