Tauranga Primary pupils are experiencing the night sky under an inflatable dome in their school hall.
The portable Starlab is visiting the school this week with owner/operator Gloria Witheford teaching children about astronomy.
Near the centre of the dome, Ms Witheford controls a lamp which, depending on the cover used,lights up the walls of the dome with the constellations of the night sky as it currently looks.
