Inauguration Day Also Marks Palindrome Date That Won't Be Seen For Another 1,000 Years

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

WASHINGTON (KDKA) - Wednesday, January 20, 2021, will be a historic day for plenty of reasons.

First and foremost, a new administration will be sworn in at noon when Joe Biden takes the oath of office and becomes the 46th President of the United States.

However, it will also be a date that will not be seen again for another 1,000 years.

January 20, 2021, or 1/20/2021, is a palindrome date that once you remove the slashes comes out 1202021.

This creates a palindrome, meaning it will come out to 1202021 both backward and forward.

January 20 will not be a palindrome date again until 3021 - in 1,000 years.
