That depends on where in space you're talking about. "Space" is generally considered to mean "at least 100km altitude". From 100km, the Earth is impossible to miss; it takes up nearly half the sky. If you mean from our solar system or in the near vicinity, yes. From Mars, Earth would appear to be a very bright star... not quite as bright as Venus is from Earth, but still one of the more spectacular objects in the night sky. The Moon would probably be a naked-eye object from Mars as well. If you mean a light-year away, probably not without a good telescope. If you mean way out in the next galaxy, definitely not.
