The temperature of outer space is measured in Degrees Kelvin. The Kelvin scale starts at what is called Absolute Zero, and is based on the theory of a "Perfect Vaccuum" (a vaccuum in which no matter exists whatsoever). Space, however, is not a perfect vaccuum. There are various gasses and other particles floating around in it, and for that reason its temperature cannot possibly be Absolute Zero. It would depend on exactly how much matter is present in any given region of space as to that regions temperature in Degrees Kelvin. It is scientifically acceptable to determine the temperature of space to be "fractionally above Absolute Zero", as its (space, as a whole) temperature varies from region to region. How the temperature in space is physically measured is another question, and one I cannot answer.

Is there constant temperature throughout space?
If by space you mean the vacuum of outer space then, as the are very few atoms, there is no temperature as such.This is because what we call temperature (heat) is caused by the vibration of atoms. However, there may be allot of energy passing through a portion of space (electromagnetic energy) but, if this has no matter to impinge on, it does not deposit this energy. There are however some portions of space (in nebulae) where, although there is not much matter, what matter there is, is hot an may even be radiating energy (emission nebulae). Thus the answer to you question is:- No there is not a constant temperature throughout space.
