    (4.31±0.38) million Solar masses.

    Explanation:

    The galactic center is the center of the milky way around which the galaxy rotates. It is most likely the location of a supermassive black hole which has a mass of (4.31±0.38) million Solar masses. The location is called Sagittarius A*.

    As there is interstellar dust in our line of sight from the Earth infrared observations need to be taken.
