Las Vegas has debuted its latest visual spectacle, drawing comparisons to EPCOT's iconic Spaceship Earth at Walt Disney World.
The 366ft tall Sphere is wrapped in 1.2 million LED pucks to make a 580,000 square-foot fully-programmable LED exterior – the largest LED screen on Earth. Each puck contains 48 individual LED diodes, with each diode capable of displaying 256 million different colors.
Spaceship Earth debuted an all-new LED lighting design in 2021 featuring 2000 LED pucks and performs synchronized lighting displays each evening.
The Sphere in Las Vegas powered up for the first time on July 4, opening with "Hello World" and moving on to display images of Earth, fireworks, stars and stripes animations, and underwater scenes. One scene even resembled Spaceship Earth's triangles.
Watch the video below for a look at the Sphere in action.
