What emits light at the centre of galaxies?

If I understand correctly, black holes are the centres of galaxies, so what emits light in the centre of galaxies that we see from far away?

Galaxies don’t have some single hot center light.

They have a cluster of stars near the middle, a few maybe even tightly orbiting the black hole like huge fucky glowing planets. 🙂

But there are only a few right on the black home and thousands/millions more just sorta nearby.

Here is the best real image we have of the dense area kinda near the core of our galaxy.
