wwt_url_database: checking that WorldWide Telescope URLs are live

The AAS WorldWide Telescope is a free and powerful visualization engine developed by the American Astronomical Society that can display astronomical and planetary data. This engine is powered by a large (multi-terabyte) collection of astronomical survey data stored in the cloud. The wwt_url_database package is a utility for checking that the URLs exposed by the web service are functioning correctly.
