I don't think the Bible says he physically rose up towards the sky, does it? In fact, no one witnesses the resurrection; they just find the empty tomb, and later Christ pops back in to explain what happened, kind of like the end of an episode of "Murder, She Wrote." I assumed the whole rising toward the sky thing was a trope of Western art and was merely symbolic. That was after he resurrected, and then left...

I think that Heaven is a physical location.
