Why is outter space black?

Our eyes perceive energy in the visible light range that is either emitted from a source, or reflected off an object.  In space, the light sources are stars, like our Sun.  Objects like planets and comets and asteroids and dust, reflect the light emitted by the stars.  Since space is a vacuum, there isn't anything to reflect the light, therefore it is black.

Greetings,\n\nDark matter doesn't have to be dark.  It's called dark matter because we don't know what it is.\n\nCurrent cosmological theories regarding the expansion of the universe and accelleration of that expansion tell us there is matter and energy we have not accounted for or discovered yet.\n\nBlack holes fall into matter we have, for the most part, accounted for.\n\n-matt

The galaxy center is mostly obscured by dust.  Therefore, its brightness is greatly dimmed.

In real life, everything no matter how black reflects either a tiny bit of light or infrared rays.  Even if it's completely black, we could still located with sound or radio waves.  \n\nBy the way, notice that the stealth fighter and bomber are black.\n\nIn scientific terms, something that is completely black can still be found by following light sources behind it because by definition, a black object either blocks or absorbes light.  So it has to disturb light sources coming from "behind" it.  By the way, that's how many plants, moons, and black holes were proven, as I recall.

I think black is dark enough.\n\nTo make text bigger click view -> font size and select a larger font. Or you can hold down control and move your mouse wheel up and down.

This is an illusion. The aperture used on cameras in space is so small as not to allow enough light in to be able to see the stars. Try using a video camera to video the night sky on earth, you will find that you won't see the stars then either. \n\nDon't worry, the stars don't disappear when you get to space.

It's the only object outside our own galaxy visible with the naked eye. But you have to be in a very dark area, i.e. well away from any major cities.

Probably because it's black.\n\nAnd the correct spelling is "interrogated."

It is all throughout space if it exists.  You can't see it because...well...it is dark ;0)

Its a high frequency low wavelength light.can you see UV? no right? so it appears black.. also its monochomatic that you dont see the tinge of other light or colour...

Technically (and scientifically) black is the absence of all color, whereas white light contains all color within it.  If however, you are blending paints or playdoh, you probably know that "all" the colors put together tend to look brownish-black, and not white.  Therein, I imagine, lies some confusion.\n\nDespite forays into paint and clay blends, the science still holds.

When a star runs out of nuclear fuel, and therefore continues to lose energy from the surface (it is emitting light energy), while not replacing the lost energy through nuclear fusion (no more nuclear fuel), gravity will win out over internal pressure and the star will contract slowly or collapse quickly depending upon the details of the internal structure and composition. Gravity wins out over the internal pressure of the star, because that pressure was produced by a normal, hot gas, and that gas is losing energy as the star radiates energy from the surface. \n\nThe star may thus end up as a black hole.

A black object is only visible when surrounded by light reflecting items.  Example: if you wrote on a completely black piece of paper with a black marker you would not be able to see it, but you would if it were white paper

Yes. Since black is absence of color, absence of light, it is often seen as evil because darkness suggests the unknown. People fear the unknown. Therefore, they conclude, that black is evil because they fear evil. But the unknown is only unknown until someone or something sheds light on it. Then, we often find that those things hidden to us are not always as scary as we seem to think they are.
