A cap of spherical radius α on a unit d-sphere S is the set of points within spherical distance α from a given point on the sphere. Let ℱdocumentclass[12pt]{minimal} usepackage{amsmath} usepackage{wasysym} usepackage{amsfonts} usepackage{amssymb} usepackage{amsbsy} usepackage{mathrsfs} usepackage{upgreek} setlength{oddsidemargin}{-69pt} egin{document}$${cal F}$$end{document} be a finite set of caps lying on S. We prove that if no hyperplane through the center of S divides ℱdocumentclass[12pt]{minimal} usepackage{amsmath} usepackage{wasysym} usepackage{amsfonts} usepackage{amssymb} usepackage{amsbsy} usepackage{mathrsfs} usepackage{upgreek} setlength{oddsidemargin}{-69pt} egin{document}$${cal F}$$end{document} into two non-empty subsets without intersecting any cap in ℱdocumentclass[12pt]{minimal} usepackage{amsmath} usepackage{wasysym} usepackage{amsfonts} usepackage{amssymb} usepackage{amsbsy} usepackage{mathrsfs} usepackage{upgreek} setlength{oddsidemargin}{-69pt} egin{document}$${cal F}$$end{document}, then there is a cap of radius equal to the sum of radii of all caps in ℱdocumentclass[12pt]{minimal} usepackage{amsmath} usepackage{wasysym} usepackage{amsfonts} usepackage{amssymb} usepackage{amsbsy} usepackage{mathrsfs} usepackage{upgreek} setlength{oddsidemargin}{-69pt} egin{document}$${cal F}$$end{document} covering all caps of ℱdocumentclass[12pt]{minimal} usepackage{amsmath} usepackage{wasysym} usepackage{amsfonts} usepackage{amssymb} usepackage{amsbsy} usepackage{mathrsfs} usepackage{upgreek} setlength{oddsidemargin}{-69pt} egin{document}$${cal F}$$end{document} provided that the sum of radii is less than π/2. This is the spherical analog of the so-called Circle Covering Theorem by Goodman and Goodman and the strengthening of Fejes Tóth’s zone conjecture proved by Jiang and the author.
