Temperature is a measure of kinetic energy transferred to particles, henceforth, space being vacuum, temperature cannot be measured. But then, there is cosmic background radiation. It is the leftover heat from the Big Bang, but then heat in space doesn't make sense, how does this radiation, heat up space time when it technically cannot be heated up? Moreover why is it referred to as heat when it is approximately just 2.5 Kelvin, which is just above absolute zero?
