        ## 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
