Abstract

The WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a powerful tool for astronomical science education. Through investigation and textual analysis of the development of WWT in the country and relevant practices, it is found that the development of astronomical science popularization based on the WWT platform in China has developed rapidly in the past ten years, but there are differences in regional development, as manifested in that talent cultivation, creation of popular science works based on WWT and some other practical activities are only concentrated in a small number of regions, such as Beijing, Hubei, Guangdong and Chongqing. There is still a long way to go for benefiting the public in China. On the basis of summarizing the development of WWT in China, a series of targeted promotion measures and suggestions have been put forward, from the aspects of "enhancing and implementing the public education consciousness based on scientific data", "strengthening talent cultivation", and "encouraging the creation and promotion of astronomical science popularizing works based on WWT". This work is a useful reference for education activities of astronomical science popularization in China, especially for primary and middle schools.
