Outer space is mostly a vacuum (that is, no matter is present); inside this vacuum, extremely distant from one another, are galaxies, stars, planets, and so on. Stars do indeed emit powerfully bright light - the Sun is an example of this. However, as space is a vacuum, there is very little matter for this light to reflect off. Therefore, we can see the direct light from stars (the white lights in the night-sky), but the rest of space appears black.
You might be asking about Olbers' Paradox, which basically says: if the universe is infinite, why is the sky dark, since in an infinite universe there should, eventually, be a star in any direction you look? The simple solution is that the universe is NOT infinite.

What method is used by astronomers to infer the existence in space of a dark object?
Astronomers detect the existence of dark objects in space through indirect methods like gravitational lensing, where the object's gravity bends light from background sources. They also use the dynamics of stars and galaxies to infer the presence of unseen mass, such as in the case of dark matter.
How much space does stars and planets take up in the universe?
Stars and planets make up a very small fraction of the universe's total volume. The vast majority of space in the universe is empty, consisting of hydrogen and helium gas, dark matter, and dark energy. Stars and planets are concentrated in galaxies, which themselves make up a small portion of the universe.
Why can you see the stars when it is dark?

Why is sky on moon black?
The sky we see is in our atmosphere we can't see space from earth with all the stars we can see that because it's dark, sun is not shining on that bit of our planet. The blue sky and the cloud we see is in our atmosphere that stays close to the earth. When you go into space you breakthrough the atmosphere and out into space. The moon doesn't have an atmosphere so you can see straight into space.
