...The Scriptures answer every question that inquiring minds want to know!
What is heaven? Where is it located? Who resides there? Will there be
recognition in heaven?...

...A Wonderful Place...The Spirit is Very Specific = Up...God Almighty...
...yes = names in The Book Of Life...

...it is natural to want to learn everything we possibly can about heaven, as
members of the Body of Christ. As Paul says,

Whence also we look for The Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ”...​

The third heaven, paradise. 2 Cor 12:2

There are a couple passages that suggest it's somewhere beyond space in the northern sky. And recently, our modern astronomers discovered a vast void in the northern sky where you point a telescope and there's nothing, confirming the Job passage; It's called the Bootes Void.

Job 26:7

He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Isaiah 14:12-14

12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

2 Cor 12:2-4

2I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

Heaven is mostly referred to as the dwelling place of the spirit beings maam. Jehovah, Jesus, the faithful angels all reside there, satan and the demons are no longer allowed to reside there, and have been cast to the earth. The term is used in other ways as well, such as our atmosphere where the birds fly.

Personally, I have no interest in Heaven; it's an alien world and a whole
other way of life with which I am totally unfamiliar. It's going to be quite an
adjustment; and I dread it.

That's likely telling of classified information, i.e. top secret. I'm guessing that
before that guy was allowed to return to the world, he was required to take
an oath of secrecy.

I believe heaven is the peace we receive after we repent of our sin (Matthew 4:17).
