See The Center of The Galaxy in No Man's Sky (Spoilers)

The Center of the Galaxy is the end-game scenario for No Man's Sky's primary campaign. While players are free to explore the galaxy at their leisure and to their heart's content, the ultimate goal of the single-player mode is to reach the elusive center and the main story ending of No Man's Sky.

Potentially enormous spoilers exist below.  If you do not want to know what will be discovered at the Galaxy's center, you should not read any further.

Spoilers below!

The Center of the Galaxy exists a one way portal leading to new galaxy in different dimension, an element in a potential megaverse. After a brief, starry cinematic with no narration, the player emerges on the edge of a new galaxy. This new galaxy initially appears to be similar, but may or may not differ substantially from the original.

The new galaxy appears in most ways to be functionally identical to the previous. The center of the galaxy is usually around 180,000 light years away and with a regular hyperdrive which has 100 light years per jump max, you can get there in at least 1800 jumps, but that's with the standard hyperdrive. If you get the Warp Reactor Sigma (300 ly/jump), then you can get there in around 600 jumps. If you have the Warp Reactor Tau (500 ly/jump), it takes at least 360 jumps to get there. If you have the Warp Reactor Theta (900 ly/jump), it will only take around 200 jumps. Apparently you can even combine them to get even more, for example you can do Tau + Theta to get a maximum of 1300 ly/jump, meaning you could reach the center in about 139 jumps.

You can find the different type of Warp Reactor upgrades by either talking to aliens and helping them out successfully, in which case they will gift you with a random upgrade, or by finding broken pods on a planet's surface that contain random ship upgrades. When doing this, it's best to fly along the surface of the planet and look out for any burning pods with a blinking blue light. It's also recommended that you fly to a planet with little life, as trees and fauna might make it difficult to find the pods.
