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.
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.
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.
The Sun is located about 26,000 light-years from the center of the Milky Way galaxy. This distance places it in one of the galaxy's spiral arms, known as the Orion Arm. The center of the Milky Way is thought to contain a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A*.
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.
It is likely to be a black hole though this has yet to be confirmed.
A blazar is an elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole at the center.
At the center of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole.
At the center of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole.
Yes. The mass inside the black hole is about 4 million times that of the sun.
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.
No, not every galaxy contains a black hole. While many galaxies do have a supermassive black hole at their center, there are also galaxies that do not have a black hole.
It seems that just about EVERY galaxy has a huge ("supermassive") black hole in its center.
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.
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".
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.
