+
+## About
+
+The [pywwt] package is the official toolkit for visualizing astronomical data in
+Python using [AAS][aas] [WorldWide Telescope][wwt] (WWT). 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]
+(AAS), the major organization of professional astronomers in North America, and
+the [.NET Foundation][dnf].

+
+With [pywwt] you can:
+
+* Visualize and explore astronomical data interactively in the [Jupyter and
+  JupyterLab][jupyter] environments through an HTML widget
+* Do the same in standalone applications with a [Qt][qt] widget
+* Load data from common astronomical data formats (e.g. [AstroPy
+  tables][tables]) into WWT
+* Control a running instance of the WWT Windows application
