Three.js - rotating texture on sphere geometry

Question

Is it possible to rotate loaded texture on sphere geometry in Three.js? I don't want to rotate the object, just texture that is applied to material. Let's say I have a sphere that looks like that:

And I just want it to rotate in x/y/z direction by n degrees to look like that:

There is no way you can do this. Even If you wanted to offset the texture, it wouldn't work, especially in a loop.

You should simply rotate the sphere:

function render(){
    requestAnimationFrame(render);
    renderer.render(scene, camera);

    sphere.rotation.y += 0.01;
}

render();
