Intergalactic spaceThe physical space between galaxies. Generally free of dust and debris (nebulae are a notable exception) intergalactic space is very close to a vacuum with an average density of less than one atom per cubic meter. In deep intergalactic space temperature drops close to 0 kelvin. The primary method of energy transfer in intersteller space is by radiation as opposed to convection or conduction.\nExternal Links\n*Intergalactic Space, Natural History, Feb 1998\n |
