# The Universe Project becomes WorldWide Telescope  [passages that could be omitted, but have not yet been, and key comments about possible changes,  are marked with square brackets here] The Worldwide Telescope was started by amateur astronomer Curtis Wong who grew up in Los Angeles with a deep desire to explore the night sky to see the Milky Way, nebula and galaxies as they were in magazines like Sky and Telescope. Of course between the city lights and the smog, all he could see with his 60mm refractor were the moon, a few planets and nebulae. What he really wanted was a gigantic telescope with a dark sky and a Harvard astronomer by his side to guide and explain what he was looking at.

By 2000, Curtis was at Microsoft Research where he worked with big data computer scientist Jim Gray and astronomer Alex Szalay from Johns Hopkins. [Jim had previously created Terasever, a website which aggregated satellite imagery of the Earth and it allowed anyone to zoom into almost anywhere to see ground detail.]   Jim and Alex were working on software that would organize data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey so that it would be availble on-demand to researchers and the public. In working with Jim and Alex to deisgn the "Skyserver" service serving the Sloan data, Curtis realized that all the elements were finally becoming available to create his astronomy project. project, then code-named "The Universe Project."  In 2005, Curtis attended a Kavli workshop at The University of Chicago called The _The  Visualization of Astrophysical data Data_  and presented his vision for the Universe Project. Wong's slides are still online at the conferenceweb  site, here: https://kicp-workshops.uchicago.edu/visualization2005/. Many of Also attending  the participants, including Harvard Astronomer workshop was  Alyssa Goodman, volunteered a Harvard Astronomy professor with long-standing interests in data visualization and innovation in education. Goodman and Wong became fast friends, and Goodman promised  to help advise on access with the "Universe" project, if it were ever possible  to other sources of imagery and data. fund its creation.  In 2006, Curtis Wong got the go-ahead to make the Universe Project real, and in so-doing he had the great fortune to collaborate with  Jonathan Fay, an extraordinary software architect and amateur astronomer himself had done work on 3D graphics, tiled multi resolution image rendering and media authoring, built the first zooming prototype of the Sloan imagery within a few hours. himself.  Over the course of two years 2006-8  the project was completed with Curtis designing the experience and Jonathan developing technical architecture and code, with Goodman and other professional astronomers providing input and advice on content and how researchers  and assistance from others the public might use WWT.
