Teaching aids, through the use of real objects, have been employed to describe the science concept in learning. Innovation in teaching aids, mainly digital access and Augmented Reality-based virtualization, is necessary to keep up with the fast advancement of ICT. This study aims to design solar system teaching aids using manipulative virtualization concrete and digital AR. This study employed the ADDIE Research and Development (R&D) to achieve its objectives. It involved several stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. It created solar system teaching aids employing manipulative virtualization and digital AR. The validation findings for content experts are 88%, media and technology experts are 86% and teacher or user responses are 88%. All three validations met the very feasible requirements. The average percentage of validation score is 87,33%, indicating that the criteria are very feasible. This study concludes that solar system teaching aids with AR-based concrete and digital virtualization manipulation effectively improve students’ conceptual understanding of the solar system while addressing compliance and learning content. These teaching aids combine physical models with an augmented reality application. The AR application enriches the learning experience by projecting dynamic, scaled visuals of planetary orbits and positions in real-time, complementing the physical models of the solar system, where students can interact with tangible, three-dimensional representations of the solar system. This dual approach provides an exciting and comprehensive learning experience, especially for abstract astronomical concepts. © 2024 Science Education Study Program FMIPA UNNES Semarang.
