POV-Ray isn't limitless, basically, is why. I don't know the exact reasons
but there's a value in the program code called Epsilon which numerical
values are based around in some way.

So, there are limits found when using either very small or very large
numbers for the objects. The sky_sphere is designed to be infinite, so
that's the alternative. Aside from keeping to within reasonable scales if
using object primitives anyway.
