beyond the horizon
Past the visible
Beyond the horizon refers to what lies past the line where earth and sky appear to meet—literally out of sight.
The phrase usually works figuratively for things not yet visible or attainable: future possibilities, undiscovered territories, or goals still distant.
We can't know what lies beyond the horizon.
