In space, there is no atmosphere to scatter the light towards your eye, and depending on the direction you are looking, nothing to reflect the light towards your eye. This means, unless you are looking directly at a light source, or something reflecting a light source (ie: the earth, the shuttle, the ISS), the non-lit area would appear dark. However, if you look directly at a light source, such as the sun, the intensity of the light would appear much brighter than from Earth because there is no atmosphere to scatter some of the light away from your eye.
