Sky
The sky( or celestial dome) is everything that lies above the surface of the Earth, including the atmosphere and outer space.
In the field of astronomy, the sky is also called the celestial sphere.
This is an abstract sphere, centred on the earth, on which the Sun, stars, planets, and Moon appear to be traveling.
The celestial sphere is conventionally divided into designated areas called constellations.
Usually, the term" sky" is used informally as the point of view from the Earth's surface; however, the meaning and usage can vary.
An observer on the surface of the earth can see a small part of the sky, which appears to be a dome, also known as the" sky bowl", flatter during the day than at night.
In some cases, such as in discussing the weather, the sky refers to only the lower, more dense portions of the atmosphere.
During daylight, the sky appears to be blue because air scatters more blue sunlight than red.
At night, the sky appears to be a mostly dark surface or region spangled with stars.
During the day, the Sun, and sometimes the Moon, can be seen in the sky unless obscured by clouds.
In the night sky the Moon, planets, and stars can be similarly visible in the sky.
Some of the natural phenomena seen in the sky are clouds, rainbows, and aurorae.
Lightning and precipitation can also be seen in the sky.
Birds, insects, aircraft, and kites fly in the sky.
Due to human activities, smog during the day and light pollution during the night are often seen above large cities.

The Sky Skidder is a 1929 American action film directed by Bruce M. Mitchell and written by Carl Krusada and Gardner Bradford.

The film was released on January 13, 1929, by Universal Pictures.
Like many actors in the silent film era, Wilson did not survive the transition to" talkies", with" The Sky Skidder", his penultimate film.
Frank Capra
Frank Russell Capra( born Francesco Rosario Capra; May 18, 1897 – September 3, 1991) was an Italian- American film director, producer and writer who became the creative force behind some of the major award- winning films of the 1930s and 1940s.
Born in Italy and raised in Los Angeles from the age of five, his rags- to- riches story has led film historians such as Ian Freer to consider him the" American Dream personified."
Capra became one of America's most influential directors during the 1930s, winning three Academy Awards for Best Director from six nominations, along with three other Oscar wins from nine nominations in other categories.
Among his leading films were" It Happened One Night"( 1934)," You Ca n't Take It with You"( 1938), and" Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"( 1939); Capra was nominated as Best Director and as producer for Academy Award for Best Picture on all three films, winning both awards on the first two.
During World War II, Capra served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps and produced propaganda films, such as the" Why We Fight" series.
After World War II, Capra's career declined as his later films, such as" It's a Wonderful Life"( 1946), performed poorly when they were first released.
In ensuing decades, however," It's a Wonderful Life" and other Capra films were revisited favorably by critics.
Outside of directing, Capra was active in the film industry, engaging in various political and social activities.
He served as President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, worked alongside the Writers Guild of America, and was head of the Directors Guild of America.
