Uh...sorry. Vacuums are harder farther away from the sun.  The
best place to go for absolutely NO pollution would be outside
of the galaxy - preferably outside of our universe.

The sun is spewing out material constantly - in general, vacuums are
worse close to gravitational bodies.  See net.astro or .physics for
details.

A decent book that incorporated this fact is *TAU ZERO* by (i think)
Poul Anderson.  His science in this one is pretty hard, although
the ending is a little far-fetched.
