So I've got two there, one 50 miles and the other 60 miles. And it took them a long time to be able to figure this one out. It was simply a matter of technology. And it wasn't until just recently that they actually discovered the extent of the Earth's atmosphere into space. And there's five sections to the atmosphere and descending, whatever it's the exosphere, the thermosphere, the mesosphere, the stratosphere, and then the troposphere. However, Earth's atmosphere, it actually extends 630,000 kilometers, that's about 390, roughly 390,000 miles into space. So it extends past the Moon. And the European Space Agency and NASA's SOHO observations of the Solar Heliosphere Conservatory, it's been able to show that our planet's atmosphere extends out past the Earth and the Moon. In actuality, the Moon travels through our atmosphere. And this is basically, all it is is just basically a cloud of hydrogen atoms. And it's referred to as the geocolona. So it's amazing, our atmosphere, although it's very weak at that point in time, it's about a thousand hydrogen atoms, 630,000 kilometers, 290,000 miles out into space, past the Moon, and it's referred to as the geocorona.
