Many people think the black hole in the center of the Milky Way holds the galaxy together, sort of like how the Sun holds the Solar System together with its gravity. Strangely enough, not only is this black hole less than 0.1% of the mass of the galaxy, it’s not even at the center of stars’ orbits! When we map the orbits of stars in our galaxy, we find that their orbital center is an empty spot almost 27,000 light years away. But that doesn’t really matter, even if it’s not at the center of the galaxy it’s still at the center of our hearts.
