About Fake sky

I’m seeing a lot of people get confused about the fake sky and how it’s presented. If Sartalogi and Dottore have control over space, they could create portals, which would explain the weird presentation of the fake sky—why it appears so close, yet is actually very far away.
The red sky could simply be scattered remnants of the Eternal Moon that formed a semi-asteroid belt around the planet’s orbit. When there’s heavy dust in the atmosphere, sunlight reflects more red wavelengths, which could explain the red coloration—possibly amplified by the moon’s power.

The main thing that confuses me is that we've seen the firmament act like a display that shows a projection of skies of different colors depending on the time of day, yet from the moon they appear black in every direction.

We've seen the black space through the holes and tears in it even while their surroundings remain blue, which means it's not just atmospheric scattering of light (since then the blue should extend over the holes as well.) Everything else, I can explain, but this? This stumps me ever since the quest dropped.

I don't think it is a portal thing. I think it is a simulation thing. I think the outer space within the fake sky is infinite if looking on the inside. But on the outside it just a shell around Teyvat.

Yeah, I assume it's similar to the effect we see inside Dottore's domes. On the inside you can't tell there's anything surrounding you. On the outside, you can't see in, you just see the shell.

I think the simplest answer is that it's simply a retcon. Just like the spaceship is a retcon since the opening cutscene shows the twins arriving via two shooting stars.

What if... there's two ships.

the opening cutscene is them leaving teyvat...

Paimon: "But when you wanted to leave and go on to the next world, your path was blocked by some unknown god?"

there's no retcon, all what we know so far still aligns with what we had had before.

The spaceship was already in the beta tho, way before Genshin launched. And Dainslaif said both arived in ONE "meteroid"

the opening cut scene was the twins trying to leave teyvat

The opening cutscene does *not* show them arriving via two shooting stars. That scene depicts the travelers leaving, as themselves, flying off without their spaceship.

It's a fake sky after fake sky.
