It actually does say Dome - or def implies something solid. Take a look at a good number of other, accurate, translations, including the Jewish Bible translated directly from the Hebrew:

Also check out the word translated "Expanse/Firmament/Dome" - Raqia
https://biblehub.com/hebrew/7549.htm "רָקִיעַ noun masculineGenesis 1:6 extended surface, (solid) expanse (as if beaten out; compare Job 37:18)"

Yeah I'm not saying we understand everything about the firmament, especially at the time of the Earth's creation, but it doesn't imply dome afaik.
The firmament may have been much more "solid" (perhaps pre fall). Who know what kind of effect that had on climate, magnetic field, gamma rays, etc? I trust scripture above our current understandings, I just don't think it implies FE.
