Abstract
We describe an educational application in virtual environment, intended for teaching and demonstration of basics of astronomy. The application includes 3D models of 30 objects in the Solar System, 3200 nearby stars, a large database, containing textual descriptions of all objects in a scene, interactive map of constellations and tools for search and navigation. The methods, needed for visualization of different scale astronomical objects in virtual environment, are described.
