User: what is a galaxy

Weegy: It is accepted that nearly always there is a supermassive black hole at the center of galaxies. They provide the force of gravity required to keep all the stars, planets, etc. in orbit in a galaxy. [ As for what causes the spiral no one knows for sure, but there are several theories..
