The ds.time[0] won't let me set it's value to a datetime. Instead it returns a float: python In [19]: ds.time[0].item() Out[19]: 10509.0

And none of the following work: ```python

doesn't change the time value

ds.time[0].values = times[0]

returns an error because I can't assign to a function call

ds.time[0].item() = times[0]

returns ValueError: replacement data must match the Variable's shape

ds['time'].values = np.array(times[0]) ```

Thanks for your help!
