The balck hole is located at the center of the galaxy.
The Sun (and us) are located about 2/3 of the way out from center, in one of the galactic arms.
No reason to worry!

It's about 26,000 light years away. The coordinates (J2000 system) are: RA 17h 45m 40.045s, Dec. −29.00775 degrees (About 10 degrees to the west of the center of the constellation Sagittarius, towards Scorpius)
By the way, the super-massive black hole (BH) has a mass of around 3.7 million solar masses. There is another smaller BH only 3 light years from the big one, of about 1,300 solar masses.

The black hole is in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius, but don't expect to see it, as you can't, we only know about its location from the motions of visible stars close to it, which indicate its lurking presence.

Toward the contellation Saggitarius, about 26,000 light years away (give or take 100 light years).

In the "midst", notably a biblical word.
Sun of right-eousness is 2/3 of "the way",
on one of the galacitc "arms" having "hands";
And 2/3 = 0."666" is also a biblical number.
As for "milk"-y way of babes, it's in Hebresws 5.
God said: let us make MAN(of babe/child/man).
