A Star is super hot. So my query is would the space approaching a Star be heated aswell?
If this proves true, then if you found a safe distance from a Star (where it wouldn't be too hot) and if you had a suit that could effectively filter the radiation comming off the Star, then you could work outside your spacecraft without worrying about freezing to death.
Just imagine slapping on some sunscreen (SPF 50 jillion) and playing outside your spaceship in nothing but your birthday suit!
