Overview
WorldWide Telescope is free astronomy software from Microsoft Research that you can use to plan observations, control a telescope, explore astronomical data sets, or create custom tours for educational outreach. WWT powers such famous planetariums as the Adler in Chicago, but it can run on an ordinary PC laptop. Lead developer and avid amateur astronomy Jonathan Fay will demonstrate how WWT can be used for astronomy education and outreach.
