- Gary Hug turned his fascination with asteroids into more than just a hobby. He built an observatory behind his house, and courtesy of his homemade reflector telescope, the "amateur" asteroid tracker has identified 300 flaming balls of ice and rock.

He is an astronomer! He is a scientist! Good job sir.
This is wonderful. I think he sells himself short. He may not have the degrees, but he's probably got the knowledge. And certainly the passion. Plus, the skills to build a telescope!
Whoever cut this piece together: you did a brilliant job! As an aspiring short-form documentary editor, seeing something like this is incredibly inspiring. Keep it up!
hey bro, how are your doing now after all these years??
@@productivitysharma3455I wanna know too
his cat has a perfect mustache!! 2:49
this is so amazing! so inspiring! in USSR astronomy was very popular. Kids also made telescopes by themselves. Now - only maney meters (
Clearly a very talented, knowledgeable full on ASTRONOMER. I admire your work.
I love finding new you tube videos especially ones with no condescending remarks. keep it dude
This channel produces consistent great content, keep it up!
so glad to have found this channel
Amateur astronomers know the sky very well ....more than the professionals do,.... A very inspiring video....
hopefully this man is paid full-time for his work -- it is some of the most important work a person can do.
I don't think so ( unless im mistaken) but amateur astronomers dont get paid for what they do unfortunately.
Absolutely inspiring!
3:03 - I spy with my little astronomer eye M31 (Andromeda Galaxy) on the right, M45 (Pleiades Cluster) on the top center, and the Orion constellation with M42 (Orion Nebula) just before the frame ends on the top left. Gary Hug must live in very lucky skies in Kansas to see Andromeda with the naked eye, seems like a Bortle 3-4. Greetings from Bortle 8!
Gary is awesome and inspiring!
This is the coolest video I’ve ever seen!
It is truly amazing and so well thought out.

Same. Hope I can get into amateur astronomy soon.

if you want to get really deep; there is no way for us to know that they are are not rocks plummeting through space at a little bit less than the speed of light that could readily hit our planet any second. that being said there is an imperative for us to discover and work hard to build a better life for our children

Michael Faraday didn't have a degree in physics or engineering, but he discovered many things... You are obviously an astronomer, keep on studying the sky.
