The center of the Milky Way galaxy should be represented by a black hole on the illustration.
To answer this question, we need to know the central object of the Milky Way galaxy.
To find the answer, we can conduct a quick search online or consult a reliable source. The center of the Milky Way galaxy is believed to contain a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* (pronounced "Sagittarius A-star"). Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "a black hole."
However, I would recommend conducting further research or consulting a scientific resource to verify this information and to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the topic.
