There are loads of black holes in the Milky Way Galaxy.
The closest is only 1,600 light years away.
The largest is at our galactic centre. A super massive black hole, with a mass greater than over 4 million solar masses or over 4 million times bigger than the sun.
Black holes are resulte of a defomation in space created by a very compact mass.

What does the milky way black hole do?
Keeps the whole Milky Way together
How did the Milky Way galaxy form?
The milky way was formed by stars gases and dust . The milky way also started as a black hole and stars dust and gases gathered around the black hole.
The Milky Way may contain?
The Milky Way also contains two significant minor arms, as well as two. This supermassive black hole may have started off smaller.
What keeps the sun in orbit in the milky way?
Gravity causes all orbits. It is believed that there is a "super massive" black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and most or all other galaxies, that serves as the primary source of gravity.
What lies near the center of the milky way?
There is a far greater concentration of stars, than what we have here in our neighborhood. One interesting feature in the center of the Milky Way is a huge black hole, whose mass is currently estimated at 4 million times the mass of our Sun.There is a far greater concentration of stars, than what we have here in our neighborhood.

Is the Milky Way much smaller than the black hole?
No - The volume of the Milky Way galaxy is larger than the volume of its host black hole. The accumulated mass of the Milky Way galaxy is greater than the mass of its host black hole. The density of the Milky Way galaxy is much smaller than the density of its host black hole.

The milky way was formed by stars gases and dust . The milky way also started as a black hole and stars dust and gases gathered around the black hole.
How big is the middle of the Milky Way?
The middle of the milky way is a black hole and a black hole cannot be made up as matter. The middle of the milky way has no size, but the black hole sucks the light making it look big in pictures. The actual size is nothing.
What is at the nucleus of the milky way galaxy?
It is suggested that there is a black hole in the center of not just The Milky Way, but most other galaxies.
Will the black hole at the center of the milky way suck up all the stars in the Milky Way?
Fortunately, no.
Why is black holes in the middle of the milky way?
Black holes are common in most galaxies. It is not odd that there would be a black hole in the middle of the Milky Way.
What is the core of the milky way made of?
A supermassive black hole.
Where is there a giant black hole?
At the centre of our Galaxy, the Milky Way
Which galaxy arms extend from a core full of black holes?
The Milky Way appears to have a huge (even for a black hole) gravitational object at the center of it, and this is supposed by a lot of scientists to be a black hole. The arms of our galaxy sweep around the center.
Do the stars orbit around earth?
They don't specifically orbit the black hole. Stars orbit the Milky Way because in general, they are attracted to the other masses in the Milky Way. The supermassive black hole is only a tiny fraction of the total mass of the Milky Way. Well, you might say that they move around the black hole, but that's only because it happens to be there. Without they black hole, they would move around the center of the Milky Way anyway.
Is there a black hole in your galaxy?
All galaxies have black holes, even the Milky Way.
