The Times Square New Year's Eve ball is raised during a test drop
in New York on Friday. This will be the last year the crystal ball is
illuminated exclusively with incandescent lighting.

At the stroke of midnight on Saturday, close to a billion people will count backward from ten to one, and then it's out with the old and in with the new. But this year, the beloved Times Square New Year's Eve ball is changing, too.
When the brightly illuminated crystal ball slides down the flagpole high atop the One Times Square building in New York City, it will mark the last time the ball is lit exclusively with incandescent lighting. So say good-bye to all those bulbs.
