Big day for science as astronomers have captured the first image of a black hole.  The photo from the Event Horizon Telescope is our first real look at a black hole from the M87 galaxy.  It is 6.5 billion times the mass of our sun and thought to be the almost the size of our entire solar system. Miriam Kramer, space reporter at Axios, joins us for this amazing development and what it means for our understanding of space and gravity.

Next, archaeologists in the Philippines have turned up the bones and teeth of a distantly related species of human, further expanding the human family tree.  In all seven teeth, 3 foot bones, two finger bones, and a fragment of a thigh were found.  John Hawks, paleoanthropologist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, joins us to talk about this new discovery.

Finally, huge news that shook the NBA world and the Lakers organization.  Magic Johnson, president of basketball operations for the LA Lakers resigned in an impromptu press conference.  Magic cited not having fun in his current position and the not being able to mentor other players as some of the reasons for his departure. Dan Beyer, managing editor of Fox Sports Radio, joins us to break down the surprise announcement.
