This paper describes a multi-sensory virtual reality application for astronomy education. The application developed in this work allows Grade 6-9 students to learn about the Solar System through the exploration in a virtual environment with visual, audio and haptic feedback. Evaluation by school teachers and students shows that the haptic enabled virtual reality experience makes astronomy education more interesting and interactive, and helps students understand astronomy phenomena
