About
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
The pywwt_ package is the official toolkit for accessing the AAS_ `WorldWide
|
||
Telescope`_ (WWT) from Python. WWT is a free, open-source tool for visually
|
||
exploring humanity’s scientific understanding of the Universe. It includes a
|
||
sophisticated 4D WebGL rendering engine and a cloud-based web service for
|
||
sharing and visualizing terabytes of astronomical data. WWT is brought to you
|
||
by the non-profit `American Astronomical Society`_ (AAS), the major
|
||
organization of professional astronomers in North America, and the `.NET
|
||
Foundation`_.

|
||
With pywwt_ you can:
|
||
|
||
* Visualize and explore astronomical data interactively in the `Jupyter and
|
||
JupyterLab`_ environments through an HTML widget
|
||
* Do the same in standalone applications with a Qt_ widget
|
||
* Load data from common astronomical data formats (e.g. `AstroPy tables`_)
|
||
into WWT
|
||
* Control a running instance of the WWT Windows application
