Where does the sky end?

Between 500 and 1,000 kilometers above us is the beginning of the exosphere, which extends halfway to the moon. And, as solar radiation overcomes the power of Earth’s gravity, it’s here that Earth’s atmosphere officially ends – and the sky’s limits are finally reached.

Is beyond the sky a true story?

FS: A good part of the film is based on actual events that happened to me during a research trip. I was always fascinated by the alien abduction phenomenon.

What lies beyond the universe if it is finite?

So the answer to the question “if the universe is finite, what lies beyond” is that there is nothing beyond the universe because the universe represents everything, including things “outside” of it.
