Its because there is NOTHING between each star, that light can react against, it's something to do with air, or the atmosphere, because there is no light on the moon, (like there is on earth) since it has no atmosphere. or any sort of gas.
The atmosphere scatters the light, no atmosphere, no visible light, (like the light on earth).

What is the source of light for all items in space?
Stars (of which our sun is one) are the only sources of light in space. Planets, moons, asteroids, comets, etc. all simply reflect starlight.
Does light waves travel fastest through empty space?
Light waves, like all electromagnetic waves, travel without a medium, so they can travel through empty space. Sound waves, on the other hand, do require a medium to travel or propagate; therefore, they can not travel through empty space.
What is a product of light water air and space?
NADPH
Why is light not a form of matter?
It doesn't have mass or take up space. <><><><><> Light is energy, and energy is matter, according to Einstein. Besides, it has been proved that light is affected by Gravity and, in order to do that, it has to have mass. Look again at Einstein and others, such as Lorentz... The photon has no mass, or does it? True, it seems to have no mass, but that is at rest state. Multiply that by infinity to account for mass increase and time dilation due to traveling at the speed of light, and what do you get? Something that looks like a particle, having mass, traveling at the speed of light.
What is an empty space that contains no matter that light can travel through?
A vacuum.
Why light does not occupy space?
Light is a form of energy and energy does not occupy space.
Can light travel through space?
Light can travel through space. All the light that we get on the earth's surface; usually travels from the sun through space before it can reach here.
In space is it dark?
Yes! space is pitch black! however, because of the light of the stars,and especially the sun..... space is really glowing with light . but it is still dark in space .
What is the trem for the relationship between the speed of light and the measurements of time and space?
Time and space are related by the speed of light space r=ct where t is time and c is the speed of light.
Why is lighting not matter?
Light hasn't mass.
Can stars be dark?
the space has no boundaries so trillions of stars are in the space it gets not enough light that is why the space is dark
Why does light bends?
In a sense, light does not bend. Light sometimes passes through space (or space-time) that is warped or bent because of a nearby object having very strong gravity. The light passes through this space in what (from the light's point of view) is a straight line. To other observers the light may appear to have followed a bent path. So gravity warps space-time, and light appears to bend as it travels through this warped space-time. The light isn't doing anything except following what is a completely natural path through space.
Does light occupy space?
no
How does light travel trough space?
Light goes incredibly fast through space, bouncing off objects.
Why does light travel fastest through empty space?
because there is nothing in space to block the light and no barometric pressure
What does light travel through best empty space or matter?
Light travels fastest through empty space.
Are electrons moving through space light?
No; light is photons.
