Hubble Deep Field Video is Approaching One Million Views
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 one year anniversary that I’ll post next week. I wanted to write about it because making and posting that video to YouTube has dramatically changed my life in ways I never expected.
I know I’ve been saying this for a while, but I really do have another video almost finished that I want to post on the anniversary of the HDF video. Luckily I have the holiday weekend to get that accomplished.
Anyway, if you haven’t seen the video in a while, now, on this one year anniversary, is a good time to revisit it.
Thanks to everyone who’ve offered positive feedback and encouragement over the past year. It really makes it all worthwhile.

It was this particular video that reignited my passion for astronomy. It had quite a profound effect on me including the way I see the world. Although I work in healthcare management, I spent quite a bit of time reading astronomy articles (your site in particular) backed up by wikipedia entries! You will probably find that you already have over a million hits if you were to count the hits of people who have taken your video and reposted on youtube as their own. I bet that must be a bit irritating for you. Anyway, congratulations! It’s changed your life and by the looks of things, there are over a million people whose lives have also been impacted, including my own.

Great job Tony, I hope you’re going to have a few more million viewers after this first.
The HUDF video is so well done; it reignited an old passion. It was like rediscovering astronomy for the first tim; I think I showed this vid to every single person I know.
Congrats, and by all means keep up the good work Tony !

Tony;
That video was awesome. I saw it several months ago, but to be honest, I never connected it to you. I guess I never read the credits (my bad).
I’ve used the information in your video in some of our public nights at Fremont Peak. Of course, I take all the credit. :-D
