THE PERSON BEHIND THE FILES
Hi, I’m Jesse.
Let’s explore.
I’m Jesse van Drunen, a Dutch creator living in Spain and the person behind UnknownSpaceFiles.
I’m fascinated by the questions space leaves us with: Are we alone? What lies inside a black hole? What happens to our Sun? I make English-language space videos and Shorts, turning questions about planets, black holes and cosmic mysteries into cinematic stories. I write the scripts, hooks and stories that bring each discovery to the screen.
Why I started this channel
I created UnknownSpaceFiles to make complex space science easier to understand — and exciting to discover. My aim is to educate and entertain through clear explanations and visually engaging stories.
From the possibility of life on distant worlds to the extremes of our universe, I want each video to leave you with something new to think about. You don’t need to be an expert to be curious.
That’s the idea behind “Discover the unknown.” Come and explore with me.
