Times Square Ball, New Year's Eve attraction in New York City.
The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized for the New Year's Eve Ball Drop.
First dropped in 1907, the ball has been a staple of New Year's Eve celebrations in Times Square for over a century.
The dropping of the Times Square Ball is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, with millions tuning in to watch the event on television every year.
The ball itself can't be visited, but you can see the building it drops from any day in Times Square.
The current version of the ball, introduced in 2008, is more than twice as bright as the previous one.
