I got into it through Journey to Jaburo, the PS2 game.

I'm reading the Gundam Wiki and it's a lot to take in.

https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Universal_Century#Chronology

In the Universal Century chronology, the last dated entry of the AD system was 2045 AD, leading to the common misconception that UC 0001 followed immediately afterwards. A few early unofficial sources even listed UC 0001 as 2046 AD (or even 2045, using bad math), but current official materials indicate the presence of a gap of years between the AD and UC calendar systems. Therefore, the first year of the Universal Century calendar is deduced on the official Gundam website in North America as being 2053, 2070, 2081, 2109, 2149, or possibly later, meaning UC 0079 would correspond to 2131, 2149, 2159, 2187, 2227, or later. Using the previous established point (January 1 of U.C. 0001 being on a Wednesday), the earliest year it could've been is 2048 AD.

If Tomino's draft for the Universal Century calendar is correct, it would closely put 2045 in the same place as 0001, and then placing 0079 with 2124.

Got to bump any Gundam topic, especially one for the OG series. Even if other Gundam shows are technically better, the original is still my favorite. While I really liked Wing back in the Toonami days, it was MSG that really made me love Gundam.
