All you can see is light. Is this a huge cluster of stars?

Star births? Wouldn't the center of the galaxy be the oldest part, since the gravity from the center pulls the outsides in and attracts new matter? If the center is oldest, why would it have baby star in it?

The stars are densely packed together; Not to the point of them being side by side, but i remember hearing on a television show that "anyone living on a planet in the heart of a galaxy would be under constant bright light."
And a galaxy with an active nucleus would be a different story all together.

A crunchy nougat.
Oh wait that's just at the center of a milky way.
Seriously though. It is thought that most, if not all, spiral galaxies have black holes at their center. Elliptical galaxies on the other hand are thought to have nothing in particular at the center. The stars (and other objects) in this type of galaxy orbit around the galaxy's center of mass which is just a mathematical point in space, not some object.

well, there may be non black hole galaxies, but generally the glow in the center is a "cloud" of 100s of billions of stars circling, or being bulled to the center of the galaxy.
not necessarily into the hole, but around it.
with that many stars so close and grasses all around them, it tends to glow.
Black holes are not really black, you just can't see it.
and if you can't see something in space, the only thing you see is "space"

that is at the center of all galaxies, im pretty sure its the result of both a massive amount of stars and light curving around the black hole.
