      @neiltyson Read that every galaxy has a black hole at its center. In science, I try to avoid "every". Are there no other possibilities? :-o

      We’ve found a black hole in the center of every galaxy for which we’ve had equipment sensitive enough to measure. So the generalization to all galaxies is strongly justified.

          do black holes have to be at the centre of a galaxy. in my mind there are numerous massive stars that could be black holes when they die

          1. They don't have to be. 2. Yes, you're correct.

          while entertaining that. when a star becomes a black hole, obviously some celestial bodies will be sucked in. so will that distort the galaxy?
