What is black space at night in the sky?

Question

Does it exist everywhere and consume the areas around planets and stars or is it something that is gigantic, but exists beyond our telescope range?

Answer 1

Yes, the blackness is the absence of light, but much of the "black" that we see in between the stars is in fact filled with other stars that are so far away that their light has not yet reached the earth.

However, on a clear night in the summer, if you can get away from city lights, so that you can see a dazzling view of the milky way, take a close look: there are some dark spots in the midst of the milky way, and those are actually interstellar clouds of black dust. (The milky way is three dimensional, so if these darks spots were a gap in the stars, the "gap" would actually have to be a "tunnel" through the stars pointed straight at earth -- not very likely!)

Answer 2

The "black" of space is simply the absence of light. If there is no object to create light in a particular part of the sky, that part of the sky is black. Only the light producing (stars, galaxies) or light reflecting (planets, moons) objects show up as other than black in the night sky.

Answer 3

Black space is called Dark matter, it is throughout the universe its composition is unknown. some forms take the form of MACHO's (massive compact halo objects)dark planets like bodies or WIMPs (weak interacting massive particles) see theories on counteracting gravity or universe expansion.

Answer 4

they are called black hole. the mass of the stars are so big . so they produce so strong a gravity force that even light can not escape. so you can not see it...... there is not any reflection of light from it, so you can not see it. all are absorbed in to it when the things , light included get close to them .
so they are called "black hole"
