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.

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.


Does every galaxy contain a black hole?

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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


What is a distance of the sun from the centre of our galaxy?

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*.
