The Milky Way contains a supermassive black hole about four million times the mass of the Sun.

Notes on verification

Confirmed by multiple independent, high-quality sources including NASA, Harvard CfA, Britannica, and Nobel Prize committee materials, with measurements from Nobel-winning research using decades of stellar orbit tracking and further corroborated by ESO and Event Horizon Telescope observations.
