Julian dates in Matplotlib were calculated from a Julian date epoch: ``jdate =
8+
(date - np.datetime64(EPOCH)) / np.timedelta64(1, 'D')``. Conversely, a Julian
9+
date was converted to datetime as ``date = np.timedelta64(int(jdate * 24 *
10+
3600), 's') + np.datetime64(EPOCH)``. Matplotlib was using
11+
``EPOCH='-4713-11-24T12:00'`` so that 2000-01-01 at 12:00 is 2_451_545.0 (see
12+
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_day>`).
