"Stars, Milky Way, sister galaxies shone in majesty. The black hole was lost to naked-eye sight. Even the cloud from which Dagmar fled was now scarcely more than another gleam in the brightness-crowded dark." (p. 155)
This passage lists:
stars;
our galaxy;
other galaxies;
a black hole;
a gas cloud;
the universe as seen from space, here described by the paradox of "...brightness-crowded dark." (p. 155)
Paradoxically, apparently empty space is really full of invisible light which we perceive only as discrete points because it has to contact our retinas to be seen.
Here the Milky Way is described yet again, this time as shining in majesty.

Kaor, Paul!
And, of course, space is full of atomized MATTER, the most common of which is hydrogen.
