The Reaper
I don’t suppose you see it
When the finger points your way
Then crooks- pulls in – beckoning
In the foreboding way
Along its arm is darkness
Stretched tight to hollow eyes
The skinless skull is searching
This Shepard culls his flock
Swift the ticket for the journey
Is passed from hand to hand
And the voyage past understanding
Has begun to never end
Most would turn around with warnings
But the hard cold engineers
Have their hands down fast full throttle:
Time’s no longer dressed in years
The unknown curtain’s opened
In display - the vast beyond
Eyes no longer need to see
No light, no warmth, no sun
All things before that mattered don’t
No measurements persist
No time, no length, no weight, no temp
No comparisons exist
There’s nothing beautiful
Nor nothing dreaded here
The status is unfathomable for brain
In this, the soul’s frontier

All the best evidence we have for time as a measurable phenomenon exists outside our planet. Einstein's Theory of Relativity (which encompasses a great deal of our current understanding of time) expresses the relationship between mass and energy in terms of the speed of light. Speed is a unit of distance traveled over time - it cannot be measured without also measuring duration. We can measure the distance light, from other stars, travels and from that, how far away the light is. Thus time must be existing, and passing.

Time is something that was developed by humans to measure things against, so time exists outside the planet if we are specifically observing something outside the planet.

Time is NOT a natural feature of the universe. Time is nothing more than an abstract invented by our species to separate events into what we call past, present, and future. There is no Cosmic Master Clock ticking away somewhere to mark the correct passage of time. Einstein theorized this, and countless experiments since then have proven that he was correct.
On other worlds beyond Earth that have thinking creatures, certainly they too would have "invented" time, but almost certainly not in any kind of synchronization of with our own time.

You should first ask yourself what is 'time'? Time is only a factor or a measure of change, and it is people that have assigned to it unite such as seconds, hours, days, years etc... I would say that that yes, time does exist in outer space, only, the same units cannot be applied to time in outer space as those used on earth.. I think thre's also a problem of relativity here; people are believed to grow old at a slower rate in outer space..But since thay do grow old, proves that time does exist!

yupe time exist becuse there is a factor of space involved outside earth..
see in this univese whatever we see hasn't happened just today but it may have happened billions of years ago...
but as the information has to travell in the space it has to travel in the time as well

Only if you travel there, but if you encounter anyone else (read alien) you will need to ask what time zone you are currently in to know what time it is.
