      Well yes, because space is not actually a complete vacuum.

      That’s purely academic. IRL what actually matters is “how big and reflective is the thing you’re in”.

      You’d get real hot real fast in a matte black space suit.

      Wonder how they calculated the “average” temperature. Was it weighted by mass or by volume?

        Only mass-weighting really makes sense here imo

          Wouldn’t that be just star and not star?

            No - it’d mostly be dark matter vs not dark matter.

              I’m still on the “dark matter isn’t real” train. It would be so unsatisfying if it was the answer.

        Doesn’t matter, it’s just the eventual temperature of a black body kept in deep space
