+    This is a package to reproject astronomical images using various techniques
+    via a uniform interface. Reprojection means the re-gridding of images from
+    one world coordinate system to another (for example changing the pixel
+    resolution, orientation, coordinate system). Currently implemented are
+    reprojection of celestial images by interpolation, as well as by finding the
+    exact overlap between pixels on the celestial sphere. It can also reproject
+    to/from HEALPIX projections.
