In the current educational landscape, the integration of virtual laboratories has become an efficient approach to teaching. Virtual
laboratory software enables users to simulate various processes or objects on a computer screen or laptop, thus making abstract
concepts more tangible. Astronomy education, however, often lacks hands-on or laboratory-based sessions and is limited to
theoretical learning. To address this gap, we suggest employing virtual laboratory tools and simulator applications that can be easily
installed on smartphones. This paper provides an overview of some of the most effective and user-friendly mobile applications
designed for astronomy learning.
