In science, there are no proofs, per se. You can only disprove.
Generally, when speaking of the center of the galaxy, one refers to the center of the galactic mass. A galaxy revolves around its center of mass, and we can see a galactic bulge in its center.
We know this from observations of other galaxies, and Doppler images of its motion at the edges, when seen edge-on, one side will be slightly red-shifted relative to the other.
In our galaxy, by mapping the known stars in a three-dimensional grid, we can see a central bulge and spiral arms, similar to what is seen in many other galaxies. This is sufficient to know that we are in an arm of the galaxy, about 2/3 of the way from the center to the rim.
Probably the same as the center of YOUR galaxy.

At the center of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole.
At the center of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole.

Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.
BL Lacertae is the active center of an elliptical galaxy.
No, the sun does not orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy. The sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.
It seems that just about EVERY galaxy has a huge ("supermassive") black hole in its center.
The distance from Earth to the center of the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 25,000 light-years. The center of our galaxy is home to a supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A*.
every galaxy got a black hole in the center even our galaxy, the milky way.
