| Workers test the Times Square New Year's Eve ball in New York December 30, 2014. The ball is covered in crystals designed and crafted by Waterford artisans, each about 3/8" (9.5 mm) thick, 4.75" to 5.75" (120-146 mm) in length, and 6.8 ounces (193 g) in weight, and are custom-designed and built to exacting standards to withstand the stresses of high winds, precipitation and temperature fluctuation that exist 470 feet (143 m) above Times Square, organizers said. The ball will drop at midnight on New Year's eve and will be watched by millions of people around the world. [Photo/Agencies] |
