As our telescopes improve, we have discovered that there are supermassive black holes in the cores of many, perhaps most galaxies. Scientists have long known that the galaxies did not appear to have enough mass to stay together; since they DO stay together, there has to be mass - a LOT of mass - that we aren't seeing.

Since we don't know anything other as a core for a galaxy then, the Core itself must be called "The Black Hole".

What kind of galexies are there?

There are generally three types of galaxies: spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies.

Irregular galaxies have a less defined shape and tend to have a mix of young and old stars.
