And, to understand the use of this social network in education, the following methods were used: Bibliographic Research and Literature Review, to verify the main aspects necessary for the use of Instagram; Opinion Survey, to verify the importance of using Instagram as a tool for learning Astronomy; A quantitative part that consisted of the application of a questionnaire containing ten multiple-choice questions, making it possible to understand the feasibility of continuing this work; A qualitative research based on the application of a questionnaire with three essay questions, analyzing the students' prior knowledge regarding the topic of Astronomy and its relationship with everyday life. The educational product linked to this work is the production of an Instagram account called “@astronomiaconectada”, which serves as an environment for publishing educational objects created with the aim that teachers, students and the general public can be connected with the purpose of streamlining the teaching and learning process. This work enables a new way of producing knowledge, using a social network, Instagram, as an essential tool to achieve more meaningful and practical learning in relation to Astronomy learning connected to other knowledge.
