Mobile augmented reality is one of the most potential technology for education. Science astronomy is one of the subject that need to develop by mobile augmented reality technology. Purpose in this research is to create mobile augmented reality based on astronomy subject in Indonesian curriculum in junior high school. Animation that has been show in this application follows Kepler's law about planetary motion. This research is R&D research and it follow instructional design type ADDIE. This researcher collected the data qualitatively from 2 experts, 2 teachers and 2 students. Each of participant will give suggestion to improve the quality of the application. Finally the application has been made with 16 marker. 11 explain about member of solar system, 3 marker about rotation and revolution of earth and moon, and 2 marker is about solar eclipse and moon eclipse. The application size is 47 Mb with Apk format. It can be use at least in android version 4.1 jelly bean and camera 13 MP. This application is ready to use for more large participant.
