Original Note:
https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-earth-dome-firmament/fact-check-the-earth-is-not-covered-by-a-dome-or-firmament-idUSL1N31W2RO Flat Earth is an archaic and scientifically disproven conception of the Earth's shape as a plane or disk. The firmament is archaic explanations for why the sky is blue, largely stemming from mistranslations of the Bible and extreme scientific illiteracy.
