Skies is a poetic/literary word used to mean heaven or heavenly power. The first example sentence could mean reach for heaven. In some set phrases, the used word is skies, as in He wrote to his sister praising Lizzie to the skies. In this case, to the skies means very highly or enthusiastically.
In the article you cite, I think "takes the skies" is a mistake, and was intended to be "takes to the skies". "Take the skies" is correct English, but it suggests military conquest, as in " Then we take Berlin." In this sense, "take" means to take something into one's possession. You could say "take the skies" to mean achieving air superiority during a battle. "Take to" is a distinct phrasal ...
The first morning light is called 'daybreak'. We call the late evening 'dusk', and sometimes describe the low light conditions as " dusky ". That doesn't necessarily mean that the skies are clear of clouds. A 'dusky evening' makes me think of a gloomy sunset mixed with clouds.
The Greeks gave it the name Hesperus when it was the evening star, and (what's come down to us as) Phosphorus when it was the morning star. Much darker skies then, and it was hard to miss them. Of course, the Greeks knew they weren't stars -- planetes means 'wanderers' in Greek, because it was easy to see that they didn't stay in the same place like stars do, and they were the basis of ...

In both countries, it was clearer than crystal to the lords of the State preserves of loaves and fishes, that things in general were settled for ever. I could find no real (original) books that used preservers rather than preserves, so Dickens chose this word purposely.
You even occasionally see capitalized verbs. There is probably also some feeling that capitalizing will somehow makes it clearer that it is the legal document sense of the word rather than the desire or intention sense. But really, there's rarely any such ambiguity, and, frankly, using a capital letter doesn't actually reduce ambiguity.
This statement mostly clearly and concisely reflects your intended meaning: For real-, complex- and quaternion-type representations, the value of k is 1, 2 and 4, respectively. my supervisor said that the correct sentence is: k is 1, 2, or 4 for real-type, complex-type, or quaternion-type irreducible representation, respectively. because it is describing three distinct cases and each case is ...
