Was watching some doco on tv and they made a statement that for any galaxy to exist it must have a blackhole. Thought it was interesting

That's not an astronomy picture. It's Christmas lights on Oxford Street taken from the inside of a wet black cab.

Don't worry, Chico won't come here. Too scientific for him.

They have a line saying 1 light year. Where in the field is that distance or have they managed to take a picture and remove all the foreground and background stars?

Amazing image of the black hole at the centre of our galaxy

See Astronomy picture of the day

Looks to me like there's a ring of stars or bright dust clouds (?) a tad "south west" of the arrows, and a jet of bright sources in a line further south west and increasing in size the further they are from the centre of the ring.
