THE mystery of the stars have been revealed to children at Bedale Primary School this week.

A planetarium set up at the school gave year five and year six pupils a glimpse of faraway galaxies during a space event on Wednesday night.

Parents were invited along to sample space cake and space cocktails and amateur astronomer Theresa Brooks gave a talk during the night.

The evening was part of a school project on space explorers.

The children have already learned about mountaineers in a previous project.

The next topic they will tackle will be Egyptian explorers.
