contents We consider rational points on the sphere and investigate their equidistribution in shrinking spherical caps. For the two-dimensional sphere, we leverage Hecke operators to obtain a significantly improved small-scale equidistribution bound, and discuss connections to the covering radius problem, intrinsic Diophantine approximation, and Linnik's conjecture on sums of two squares and a mini-square.
