Can someone enlighten me about the date/time format?
"2018 January 14.6035 UT "

My guess is that it stands for
UTC January 14th at second 6035 - which is around 1:40 AM ?
It is just decimal of a day ie 0.6035 of 24 hrs
= 14.485hrs
= 14hrs 29.16mins
UT starts at midday so about 2:30am on Jan 15 London time.
