It's zone of avoidance. This is the dense part of our galaxy including the black hole etc. Visible light in this area is adsorbed by galactic centre and dust. Not a good area for visible light photography and hubble. At the same time it's paradise for Gaia, jwst, Spitzer etc, basically any nom-visible light telescope.

Looks like the intro to Resident Evil paused mid-frame. Cool pic either way.

Imagine you're in a crowded mall and suddenly The Rock shows up and he's signing autographs and taking selfies with anyone who asks. You're at the edge of the crowd trying to take a video but people are just neck-and-neck crowding with each other and it's impossible for you to see him. You can pan the camera around and see the rest of the mall fine, but the closer you get to The Rock the more people are in the way. That's what taking a picture of the center of our galaxy is like, and the dark stuff in this image is all the crap that's blocking our shot.
