Sorry to contradict you, but I know by visual evidence that the sky is a giant
sock knitted by the sun and in which Earth is found. The sun knits it with a
wool tainted blue, but the taint gets oxydated by the oxygen in the atmosphere
when the sock touches it, and after this oxydation the wool becomes
transparent. That's why on the side of the sun the sky looks blue, while on the
other side we see the space through it. The sun is a slow knitter, so the
beginning of the sock is only arrived at Jupiter. They say the sun will stop
knitting when the point of the sock reaches the largest point of the orbit of
Pluto.

This should be obvious for anyone with a little knowledge of astronomy and
chemistry :)) .
