	abstract = {The WorldWide Telescope computer program, released to researchersand the public as a free resource in 2008 by Microsoft Research, has changed the waythe ever-growing Universe of online astronomical data is viewed and understood. TheWWT program can be thought of as a scriptable, interactive, richly visual browser ofthe multi-wavelength Sky as we see it from Earth, and of the Universe as we wouldtravel within it. In its web API format, WWT is being used as a service to display professionalresearch data. In its desktop format, WWT works in concert (thanks to SAMPand other IVOA standards) with more traditional research applications such as ds9, Aladinand TOPCAT. The WWT Ambassadors Program (founded in 2009) recruits andtrains astrophysically-literate volunteers (including retirees) who use WWT as a teachingtool in online, classroom, and informal educational settings. Early quantitativestudies of WWTA indicate that student experiences with WWT enhance science learningdramatically. Thanks to the wealth of data it can access, and the growing numberof services to which it connects, WWT is now a key linking technology in the SeamlessAstronomy environment we seek to oer researchers, teachers, and students alike.},
