We are almost certain that quasars are powered by giant black holes of up to \$10^10\$ times the mass of the Sun, and that black holes of between \$10^6\$ and \$10^10\$ solar masses---dead quasars---are present at the centers of most galaxies. Our own galaxy contains a black hole of \$4.3\times10^6\$ solar masses. The mass of the central black hole appears to be closely related to other properties of its host galaxy, such as the total mass in stars, but the origin of this relation and the role that black holes play in the formation of galaxies are still mysteries.
