Does the supermassive blackhole at the center of your galaxy contain most of the mass of the galaxy?

No. The super massive black hole at the center of the galaxy has about 4 million times the mass of the sun while the galaxy as a whole has at leas 1 trillion solar masses. In other words the black hole at the center of the galaxy accounts for about one twenty-fifth of one percent of the galaxy's mass.

What is in the center of the milkey way?
We cannot see the center of the Milky Way Galaxy because of the dense clouds of dust and gas in the way, but there are interesting indications that our galaxy, like many large galaxies, may contain a supermassive black hole in its center.
Are there any black holes in your galaxy?
Yes. There is a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy and a number of stellar mass black holes through the rest of it.
In what constellation is the center of the galaxy?
Not "the" quasar, but "a" quasar - there are many. A quasar is associated with a supermassive black hole, and those are generally at the center of galaxies.
Where is the galatic center and its black hole?
The galactic centre is the central region of a galaxy. Most, if not all galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their centre.
What are straight branches of stars projecting from the center of galaxy?
Generally older stars. Most, if not all galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their centre.
Is a blazar an active elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole at the center?
A blazar is an elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole at the center.
Is there mass in the supermassive blackhole of the milky way galaxy?
Yes. The mass inside the black hole is about 4 million times that of the sun.
What is supermassive blackhole?
A supermassive black hole is a huge black hole, usually in the center of a galaxy. All or most galaxies are expected to have such supermassive black holes. Such a galactic black hole typically has over a million times the mass of our Sun; the largest (in large galaxies) have billions of times the mass of our Sun. The black hole in the center of our own galaxy (the Milky Way) is associated with the object Sagittarius A*, and it has a mass estimated at 4 million solar masses.
What bright Galaxy has a black hole in its center?
It seems that just about EVERY galaxy has a huge ("supermassive") black hole in its center.
Is there any blackhole in your galaxy?
There is a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, and perhaps most other galaxies. Additionally, there are several smaller black holes relatively near by, as cosmic distances go. The first black hole ever detected is in the constellation Cygnus, called "Cygnus X-1".
Can a supermassive black hole recoil out of a distant galaxy at high speed?
Yes. You see, a supermassive blackhole constantly eats away at the galaxy it inhabits. but for clusters the gravitational field is so immense, it already is pulling whole galaxies into its singularity. An example could be that our galaxy, as well as others are being pulled to a phenomenon known as The Great Attraction which could very well be a supermassive black hole.

What is the center of the milky galaxy professor?
Most astrophysicists believe that there is a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
What object is believed to reside at the center of Active Galactic Nuclei?
The center of many galaxies is suspected to house a "supermassive black hole". The black hole may even weigh more than all the stars in that galaxy combined. Spiral galaxies are more likely to contain a supermassive black hole.
A distant galaxy with a blck hole at its center?
Most galaxies - the larger ones at least - have a supermassive black holes in their center.
A distant galaxy with a black hole at its center is called?
every galaxy got a black hole in the center even our galaxy, the milky way.
What is a bright distant galaxy with a black hole in it?
Perhaps you are referring to quasars. Quasars are (galaxies with) extremely active galactic nuclei.Otherwise, as far as we know, many of the larger galaxies seem to contain a supermassive black hole in the center. If by black hole you are referring to standard black hole, not a supermassive, chances are all galaxies have quite a few. Within the local group of galaxies (Our cluster), the brightest galaxy as it appears from Earth is the Canis Major dwarf galaxy at 25,000 lightyears away. For galaxies not within our cluster, the brightest would be Markarian 231 at about 600,000,000 lightyears away.Comparing apparent magnitude. Canis Major's apparent magnitude (Little "m") is approximately 23.3m where Markarian 231 is about 13.8m yet the galaxy is 2,400,000% further away than Canis Major. An interesting side note about this galaxy is that it's supermassive blackhole is accompanied by a large quasar.
