Can you believe it? There’s a record label called Astronomy Records!
After I made the HDF video, I was contacted by Herrin, who I believe runs the place, to let me know about the music from his label. He told me I could use the music in my videos for a credit.
I’m […]
I get a lot of email about this, so I thought I’d make a post to point people to.
I’ve made two astronomy videos, with about three more in various stages of completion. Many have been asking me how I go about making them, so here’s a brief outline.
I think of what I want to […]
On September 6th, 2006 I made a 6 and a half minute video over the course a few days and uploaded it to YouTube. I figured I’d be lucky if it got 3,000 views.
That happened the first week.
When I made that video and uploaded it, I was slammed in the comments for the smacking […]
On September 6th last year, I uploaded a video I made over the course of a weekend called The Hubble Deep Field: The most important image ever taken.
Since that time, it has been viewed almost one million times (975,557 as of today). I have a post and video blog entry prepared for the […]
No matter what the field, it takes a lot of time to keep current on research. I know that just reading the papers relevant to solar imaging filters and calibration techniques (my particular area of expertise), takes more time than I have.
I try to offset what I don’t have time to read by going […]
On September 19th, PBS stations will air a show which focuses on the joys of stargazing. Here’s a preview:
This show will be light on science and is based on Timothy Ferris’ book of the same name. There are lots of interviews with amateur astronomers from around the world giving testament to why we […]
Here’s my second video blog entry for AstronomyBuff. I was playing with Stellarium and trying out the video capture stuff to see how it would look for future videos.
It came out OK, the problem is resolution. In 320×240 format, the planet, star and constellation labels don’t show up very well, so I have […]
One reader posted a comment wondering about the possibility of requests for astronomy videos, particularly those that have been webcast but not necessarily served anywhere for viewing on demand.
Steve from AstroShorts.com responds:
In regards to the comment below, please note that there is a place on our main page for people to contact us with their […]
There are some things we do in life that take us completely off guard. We do them - not necessarily thinking much about it at the time - and sometimes find out that the impact of those things is greater than we could have imagined.
In September 2006, I made this video during a slow […]
Wow, first I hear about AstronomyBuzz, an astronomy community site designed to allow content creators to publish astronomy stuff. Now I learn there’s another site dedicated to astronomy, but seems exclusively designed for sharing videos.
AstroShorts.com is a new site (no, it’s not something I would wear to the beach) that lets you upload and […]
