Intergalactic space
Intergalactic space is the physical space between galaxies. Generally free of dust and debris, intergalactic space is very close to a total vacuum. The average density of the Universe is less than one atom per cubic meter. Average temperature is only 3 Kelvin. The density of the Universe, however, is clearly not uniform; it ranges from relatively high density in galaxies (including very high density in structures within galaxies, such as planetsstars, and black holes) to conditions in vast voids that have much lower density than the Universe's average.
