A 1:30 a.m. Tuesday post on Las Vegas Locally’s X, formerly Twitter, account showed pictures taken at night of the Sphere with a bright white spot and the caption “A mysterious crack has appeared on the surface of the Sphere.”

A Sphere spokesperson confirmed there hasn’t been any damage to the structure.

A Review-Journal reporter viewed the exterior of the Sphere at about 10 a.m. on Tuesday and saw that a small portion of the 1.2 million LED pucks that make up the external display of the Sphere weren’t functioning properly.
