Can a space video use real NASA pictures?

Yes. Choose Real photos or Mix of all in the visuals step: a scene that names a real object is searched on the web and in NASA's image library, and anything without a good match is drawn in the art style you picked.

How does a video handle things scientists haven't worked out?

It says so plainly. 'We don't know yet' is often the strongest ending in this niche, and a script that is honest about the open question reads as more expert, not less.

Is Pluto still called a planet in these videos?

No. The International Astronomical Union reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006, and a space video should use today's classification. If you want the story of the demotion itself, that makes a good topic too.

Faceless video guides

Space videos at the scale of space

Space is a natural faceless niche: huge ideas, stunning pictures, and facts that sound made up. Pick a topic and get a narrated, captioned video with real astronomy in it.

A space short works when one object gets the whole video and its size is translated into something human. Olympus Mons isn't 'very big': it rises about two and a half times the height of Everest above sea level. A teaspoon of neutron star material would outweigh hundreds of Great Pyramids. Missions make the best stories because they come with dates, crews and photographs: Voyager 1 looking back at Earth, Apollo 13 limping home on its lunar module. The niche suits anyone who loves the moment a number stops being abstract, and it is generous with pictures, since so much of it has been photographed. Where the honest answer is 'nobody knows yet', end there; the open question is what viewers argue about underneath the video, and it keeps them coming back for the next one.

What makes one of these work

Make the scale human: compare it to something the viewer knows.
One object or one idea per video.
End on the fact that's hardest to believe, and true.

Openings that work

Example first lines. Use one as it is or write your own in the same shape.

A teaspoon of neutron star material would have a mass of trillions of kilograms.
The sunlight on your face right now left the Sun a little over eight minutes ago.
On 14 February 1990, about six billion kilometres from home, Voyager 1 turned its camera back toward Earth.

The Pale Blue Dot: Voyager 1's photo of home
Earth fills less than a pixel in a picture taken from about six billion kilometres. Carl Sagan pushed for the shot to be taken.
Why a day on Venus outlasts its year
Venus spins backwards, and so slowly that one rotation takes 243 Earth days against a 225-day orbit.
Olympus Mons, the volcano two and a half Everests tall
About 21 km high and roughly 600 km across: a scale comparison that does all the work for you.
What a teaspoon of neutron star would weigh
Hundreds of times the mass of the Great Pyramid, from a star only around 20 km across.
The Boötes Void, where the galaxies are missing
Robert Kirshner found it in 1981: about 60 galaxies where some 2,000 would be expected. Emptiness with a number on it.
Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the centre of our galaxy
About four million times the Sun's mass, roughly 26,000 light-years away, and first imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope in 2022.
Europa's hidden ocean
Under ice estimated at 15 to 25 km thick, it may hold about twice the water of Earth's oceans. A future mission still has to confirm it.
Apollo 13 and the lunar module lifeboat
An oxygen tank exploded about 56 hours in; the crew lived in Aquarius and splashed down on 17 April 1970. A rescue against a clock.
'Oumuamua, the first known visitor from another star
Spotted by Pan-STARRS on 19 October 2017, it was the first confirmed interstellar object seen passing through the Solar System.
Saturn, the planet less dense than water
NASA lists it as the only planet whose average density is below water's, and its rings are billions of chunks of ice and rock.
