Let's start with a beautiful example created by colleagues at the INTUITIVE planetarium of how WWT can offer beautiful comparisons and contextualization of imagery.
The Solar Eclipse 2024 feature here, showing how the April 8, 2024 eclipse looked to viewers from any location across North America, is just one of many more Cosmic Data Stories designed to teach data science skills using astronomy and Earth science examples.
The MilkyWay3D.org project uses WWT in concert with OpenSpace and glue to study and share the three dimensional structure of our own Galaxy.
WWT has been used extensively by MilkyWay3D collaborators in their research--it was particularly key to the discoveries of the Radcliffe Wave and the nature of Star Formation on the surface of the Local Bubble. And, WWT is even embedded in augmented reality views of the Radcliffe Wave!
WWT “Tours” guide viewers along interactive journeys through the Universe. Many examples are featured on the WWT Ambassadors Tours page, but here we highlight two classics—“Galileo’s New Order” and “John Huchra’s Universe”—to illustrate what’s possible. In addition, organizations and even national programs sometimes sponsor WWT tour-making contests; a number of outstanding examples from such efforts can be found in this listing from WWT leaders in China.
The "astrosurf" app was built as a friendly interface to WWT and offers engaging ways to experience the Universe's majesty.
An immersive 360-degree panorama on Mars, thanks to the INTUITIVE planetarium.
WWT has featured prominently in hundreds of press releases. This 2018 story about Planet Nine offers a great case-in-point of how useulf WWT's flexibility can be. (backstory, Press Release.)
