This looks similar to the web version of Aladin (whose logo appears on the lower right). I don't know the relation between the two projects.

Looks cool indeed but rather hard to use and navigate for a new user who doesn't know what they are looking at

It does not work great for me on mobile at first visit (UI/UX), but it seems like a fantastic astronomy resource. Will have a look from desktop.

The site looks usable for me, but WWT is an older site - it came out in 2008 and was linked on HN then - and its look and feel does show that age.
