My astronomy teacher mentioned once that outer space is green, not black. I dont remember his reason.

Your teacher is wrong.
Space is a vaccuum. There is green in space in how we see the color of Neptune and in some nebulaes.
Space is total darkness away from any stars.

Outer space is very dark, so that out eyes percieve it is totally black. Even astronomers are normally interested in the bright things such as stars, so thay adjust their cameras to show the stars and leave the bits between black. However, some astronomers decided to measue the colour of the dark areas. At first they said that the actual colour was duck-egg blue, but then changed their minds to beige. Extremely dark beige, of course, but beige

Of course it's green. Nanoparticles of the Moon rub off as it passes through the aether. Everyone knows the Moon is made of green cheese!
If you aren't trying to perpetrate a hoax, you need a new astronomy teacher.

Actually when they took the average wavelength of the radiation in space (I think they only used the visible wavelengths) it turned out to be beige. They had originally though it was green but the software that determined that was flawed and the error was corrected. See the article below.

It isn't. Space is clear. There was a story in the paper some time back that said scientists had measured the color of the universe, and it was green. Later, they changed their story and said it was really tan. What they had done was something like average all the colors of all the stars and gas clouds and dust clouds from a bunch of pictures to get one mixed, average color. It was never meant to imply that space itself had a color.

Uh, no. I am pretty sure that in all of the picture and videos of astronauts and the planets, that the void around the object is black... due to the lack of light...

Space has no color. Only material things can have color.Your teacher must have been an alien.

Was your teacher Al Gore? Because of the abscence of light it appears black.

You need a new school. No green just clear and a vacum
