The annual countdown celebration in Times Square in New York on New Year’s Eve will feature a brand new ball. The dazzling Constellation Ball sparkles with 5,280 Waterford crystals and is said to glow brighter than ever before. It is the ninth iteration of the ball since its first descent down the flagpole in 1907. #newyork #timessquare #newyearseve #2026 #waterfordcrystal | RTÉ News
