        🚀🚀 `Click here to try out pywwt in the cloud! <https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/WorldWideTelescope/pywwt-notebooks/master?urlpath=lab/tree/Start%20Here.ipynb>`__ 🚀🚀
        
        *Note: our cloud servers usually start up quickly, but if they were recently
        updated you may have to wait a few minutes for the backing software images to
        be rebuilt.*
        
        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
