This article discusses the modern approach to teaching astronomy in secondary school with the use of multimedia technologies. The model of teaching astronomy, developed on the basis of Astrakhan State University, implies the development of astronomical material at a high level, as well as the acquisition of useful practical skills by schoolchildren. The teaching model involves conducting classes using a telescope to observe celestial bodies, and training in working with open databases. The possibility of including additional hours in the curriculum as part of elective courses in astronomy for the design of planetary rovers is being considered. The proposed approach combines the strengths of a full-scale and virtual experiment. The observed objects are beyond our reach, we are actually working with their images, so it seems quite natural to turn to virtual and augmented reality technologies in teaching methods of astronomy.

Key words: astronomy, physics, secondary school, teaching methods, school society, augmented reality, virtual reality, mars rover, lunar rover
