Is there anywhere in space, well out past our solar system, between stars, where

about it. Thanks.
You're still going to have some atoms. There may be only one in a one
meter cube (intergalactic space), but there will be some.
Okay. But an atom of what? Hydrogen? Carbon?
What are stellar winds made up of?
Hint: It's not carbon.
