An astronaut is on a spacewalk outside a space station. Suddenly, a distant spaceship explodes. The fuel and oxygen on the spaceship burn, creating a large fireball. Which best explains whether or not the astronaut feels the heat given off by the burning spaceship?

The astronaut feels the heat because of the infrared waves released by the explosion.

The observer feels the heat because of the high-energy X-rays released by the explosions.

The astronaut does not feel the heat because there are no particles in space to transfer heat.
