New Year’s Globe Stays Up

A globe used in the New Year’s festivities in Northampton, Massachusetts will be kept up for another six months and may well be a permanent fixture (and tourist attraction), The Republican reports. The six-foot, 300-pound globe has 350 computer-controlled LED lights; the Planning Board is letting it stay up on a trial basis despite a local light pollution ordinance.
