Answer 1

There is light in space. Light only really “shows up” when it makes contact with something. Like shining a flashlight in the dark. When you have dust, you can see the beam of light. But, if it’s perfectly clear, you only really see the part the light hits.

Same thing in space. There just isn’t anything for the light to hit.
