The AAS WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a free, open-source tool for visually exploring humanity’s scientific understanding of the Universe. WWT is primarily a website that allows anyone to interactively explore terabytes of astronomical data in a seamlessly integrated 4D simulation of the known universe. But the WWT software ecosystem also includes a Windows application that can power planetariums, a cloud-based web service for discovering and sharing astronomical data, and a Python module allowing users to write their own software to control and extend all of these systems.
WWT is brought to you by the non-profit American Astronomical Society (AAS) and the .NET Foundation. Established in 1899 and based in Washington, DC, the AAS is the major organization of professional astronomers in North America.
