One day left until New Year’s Eve, and I got a behind-the-scenes look at the iconic Times Square Ball rising into place! ✨ Today, I watched the 12,350-pound Constellation Ball—measuring 12.5 feet in diameter, adorned with 5,280 crystals and LED light pucks—illuminated and lifted 130 feet above One Times Square. This is the largest Times Square Ball yet, and its dazzling glow will be seen by millions worldwide tomorrow. A few wild things about that moment you just brushed up against: • In ~24 hours it becomes one of the most photographed objects on Earth • It’s seen in more countries simultaneously than any sporting event • It becomes a timestamp for humanity — people remember their year by that drop ⁠ A New Year’s Eve tradition since 1907, the Ball continues to bring magic, excitement, and celebration to NYC like no other. 🌟 ❓Who else is counting down the hours to ring in 2026 in Times Square? 🎉 … Times Square Square NYC #timessquarenyc #nyc #nye
