A pound is a unit of mass. Mass is constant throughout the cosmos, so if the astronaut has a MASS of 180 pounds on Earth, it will be the same even in space. But, the astronaut doesn't have a weight of 180 pounds. His MASS is 180 pounds. Weight = mass x gravity. So, in space, his weight is 0 Newtons.

An astronaut in outer space will observe sky as?

An astronaut in outer space will observe the sky as dark with scattered stars. The lack of atmosphere means there is no scattering of light, resulting in a darker background compared to Earth. The stars will appear much brighter and more numerous due to the absence of atmospheric interference.

When a 75 kg astronaut in space pushes against a 200 kg anvil what will happen when the astronaut lets go of the anvil while pushing it?

Since the anvil is more than twice as massive as the astronaut, the astronaut will move much more rapidly than the anvil, as they both move in opposite directions following the astronauts push. And chances are, the massive anvil with then collide with the astronaut's spacecraft, doing horrendous damage, and the foolish astronaut will then be unable to safely return to Earth. So when you are in outer space, be careful with your anvil. I wouldn't go throwing it around at random.
