How looking up can change your life | Dustin Gibson | TEDxNashville
What do The Moon, Van Gogh, and getting thrown out of Times Square by the NYPD have in common? In this talk, Dustin takes us on his journey in Astronomy, and how looking up led him to a life mission of expanding perspectives utilizing backyard technology most people don't know exists.
Dustin Gibson is a published astrophotographer and entrepreneur. He is a co-owner and CEO of Oceanside Photo & Telescope, the largest telescope retailer in the world with multiple appearances on the Inc. 5000 list. Dustin has assisted multiple professional government and educational institutions, including NASA, JPL, and MIT. Gibson is also an appointed council member of the Middle Georgia Economic Advisory Council. He is involved in multiple organizations that work towards transforming astronomy and astrophotography, including co-founding Radian Telescopes and OurSky AI. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

How can one best get started? I don’t know where to even begin in buying a backyard telescope, let alone how to take my Sony DSLR and take photos. Any resource tips?

Has your love for the stars influenced your belief in astrology? As in is that something you’ve ever studied? Great Ted Talk btw thank you for sharing!

@@deashiarogers2036 My mother was very interested in astrology, while my interests have leaned more toward astronomy. I know many astronomers get frustrated by astrology, as a disservice to science, and I can understand their point of view as educators. I do however recognize the appeal of astrology. I think astrology celebrates the creativity of humans in a wonderful way whereas Astronomy celebrates the creativity of the Universe and human willingness to pit ourselves against even the most difficult challenges.
“A small shift in the way you see something can change how you see everything.” What a profound reminder about the power of perspective ❤

A!
One of the best Ted talks I’ve ever heard. Living in light pollution has taken away a part of our history, but talks like this remind us of what we once had but have lost. Talks like this remind us that the universe is still there, waiting to be discovered.
Long-lasting change occurs through small steps, repeated regularly, over time. Look no further than your next habit and remember to congratulate yourself every time. You are unique in all the world. Never forget that.

What a great comment!!!!
Sometimes we need to step back and appreciate where we are in the evolution of our species. Dustin urges us to take that step and, in the middle of our mundane everyday lives, be inspired by the vastness of the universe and the new ability for everyone to see it through their own home telescopes. We need this reminder. Thanks, Dustin. Great job!
Dustin’s passion is infectious! I’m now taking notice of the night sky in a new way.
I’m someone whose knowledge of space went as far as going to the planetarium on a school trip, I actually had the privilege of meeting Dustin and just listening to the passion in his voice when he spoke about what he does peaked my interest and made me not just look up and see the stars but to really look up and notice how beautiful they are
Never stop looking up!
This was such a great presentation. Dustin is knowledgeable, funny and inspirational. Beautiful images and great job, young William- You are incredible! ❤💥⚡🪐🌓
Thank you so much! I really loved the philosophy behind your words! Awesome work allowing us to expand our reality!
I was just talking about this yesterday in light of what art can do for the mind and the path of hope. Thank you for posting!
Love my triad ultra filter, I image from my backyard with patio lights on! Thanks Dustin for the great talk and all the effort to bring this to so many
Great talk Dustin. I have watched @TagBackTV getting into Astro photography and I'm honestly blown away by what can be achieved. Absolutely love what you guys are doing with the remote observatory, it's a fantastic idea.
Fantastic presentation! I really like the concept of expanding our collective perspective! Thank you!
As a stargazer I’m impressed with this talk, thank you. I take every opportunity to share the sun or night sky with whoever wants to look through the eyepiece of my telescopes. Best Regards
This is awesome. Everyone sharing and growing with technology is the key.
Amazing presentation! It's very exciting and inspiring to see Dusting here. My 1st year as an astrophotographer was less frustrating thanks to his entertaining and educational podcast "Space Junk" 🤟🏽🌌🔭
Dustin, WOW, great presentation! Inspired to look up more, dream more, and try to capture it.

Dustin is such an inspiration! I would have gotten frustrated and given up long before I ever got my first photo taken if it weren't for his outreach and willingness to help a beginner out! Also... I wouldn't have this awesome profile pic if it weren't you brother! 👊😎

Outstanding presentation. Clearly a Renaissance Man. Quite rare nowadays....
I look up every night to fight sleepiness
Opening a young person’s mind to astronomy has life changing implications…starting with their relationship with god!
🥰🥰
Galileo did not invent the telescope. He pointed the telescope to the sky.

You are correct, and thanks for the comment! I figured since he was the first to actively use one for the stars (that i know of) instead of terrestrially, it was fair to give him some credit.

Dustin Gibson is a scam artist and caused a lot of damage in the industry. I’m sorry you were caught up in his lies and it hurt your business. If anyone cared to dig deeper into this guy they would see he is just a manipulative narcissist.
Really, which is the usefulness of this channel?
