Simply put, it is because space is very big and mostly empty. The vast majority of the light from the sun continues out into open space and never hits anything, very little gets reflected back for an observer to see. Most the universe is so far away that the sun, even as bright as it is, cannot be seen, just as you could not see someone shining a flashlight on the moon. The stars you see at night are suns much like our own. Some are even bigger and brighter but are so far away that they appear as dim little dots.

But, most of the things you see are the relections of sunlight off of objects.
In space, there just aren't enough particles present to reflect the amount of light that you and could see, even with huge telescopes.
