Both are correct. Beyond can be used to describe time and space (and other things, e.g. "this is beyond the scope of this investigation.").

i think

beyond can use to describe far things

e.g: sun beyond moon

if you want more idea i can give you word (behind): some thing near

e.g: Fadi tables behind Tom tables

behind = beyong

<<I think the party will go until after midnight>>

I do not agree with the usage of "until after" in the sentence above.

Fadi, Oxford says that you can use "beyond" with this meaning:
2) later than a particular time:
It won’t go on beyond midnight. Ç I know what I’ll be doing for the next three weeks but I haven’t thought beyond that.
