Which way would a compass point in space?
The direction of a compass needle is dictated by the local magnetic field, which on Earth has a clear north-south direction. There are magnetic fields in space as well, but they're generally far weaker and lacking in any obvious direction. So, in the absence of anything like a nearby magnet, a compass in space will just move around at random.
