Size of stars in the center of Milky Way galaxy?

We cannot see the center of the Milky Way galaxy, because it is hidden by clouds of interstellar gas. However, there is reason to believe that there are no stars at the center of the Milky Way, but only a supermassive black hole.

The Milky Way is a Galaxy, not a planet


Can you explore out the Milky Way galaxy?

How do you determine the Milky Way's mass outside the Sun's orbit?

from the orbits of stars and gas clouds orbiting the galactic center at greater distances than the Sun


Can you tell me Every thing about the milky way?

It contains a couple of hundred billion stars, many of which we can't see because there are giant clouds of dust and gas in the way, so the proper answer to this question is "no."

Is the center the densest part of the Milky Way?

Probably yes, although we cannot be certain. The gas and dust clouds prevent us from seeing the center. Scientists believe that there may be a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, as there appear to be supermassive black holes at the centers of many large galaxies.


The center of your Milky Way Galaxy can be observed most easily at which electromagnetic wavelength?

Trick question; the center of the Milky Way galaxy cannot be observed at all. Not only are there vast clouds of interstellar gas blocking the light, but we believe that the center of the galaxy - as at the centers of MANY galaxies - is occupied by a supermassive black hole.
