No need to leave your bed for stargazing.

Inspiration for the Bubbletent project was actually born in New Zealand.
A certified International Dark Sky Reserve, the wilderness around Lake Tekapo on New Zealand's South Island is regarded as one of the world's top stargazing spots.
It was here, completely dazzled by the Milky Way, that thirty-something actors Sonny Vrebac and Mayu Iwasaki dreamed up the concept for their Aussie Bubbletents.
"Other glamping experiences cover up your view -- the stars essentially go to bed when you do. But what if you could be shielded from the elements and warm, and the stars stay with you all through the night?" asks Sonny, who came up with the catchy phrase, "Get out of your bubble and get into ours," when launching the tents in October (Leo) and December (Cancer and Virgo) last year.
Looking to Europe, where a handful of similar back-to-nature camping experiences have popped up from Spain to Iceland, the duo began importing tents and searching for light-free settings for their Australian project.
