There is now compelling evidence for massive dark objects at the centers of severals galaxies. The possibility that these are black holes (BHs) fits well into the picture where quasars and AGNs are powered by accretion onto a massive BH, so that dead quasar engines should be hiding in many nearby galaxies.
