The sky_sphere takes a pigment, not a texture, so you can't have a
normal or a finish.

You could replace it with a sufficiently large sphere, in which case
also consider whether you also need to use finish {ambient 1},
no_shadow, and hollow. The sky_sphere object automatically has the
equivalent of those settings, but if you need them on a sphere object
you have to remember to specify them.
