Welcome! Here you’ll find notebooks for the pywwt package, which provides access to the AAS WorldWide Telescope inside Python and Jupyter environments.
These notebooks tour some of the features of pywwt:
A selection of our notebooks come with YouTube videos showing how they were created!
Please note that, since producing each video takes a lot of work, these materials are not frequently updated, so you may run into issues with older ones.

Please note that these notebooks are being preserved for posterity but are not updated as pywwt evolves, so you may run into issues with older ones.
This YouTube video shows how you can launch your own notebooks using the cloud-based WWT BinderHub service. (Note that, as per the above, it shows a somewhat older organization of this notebook collection — but the general technique still applies.)
Authorship information for each notebook is included in a statement at the end of each. If you contribute improvements to an existing notebook, you are strongly encouraged to add your name!
