KAKU ON BLACK HOLE OBSERVATION

For the first time, astronomers have captured an image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, known as Sagittarius A* — the beating heart of our Milky Way galaxy. The discovery was made possible by more than 300 researchers from 80 institutions working with a network of eight different radio telescopes around the globe that make up the Event Horizon Telescope. Physicist/Futurist, Dr. Michio Kaku, author of the bestselling book, THE GOD EQUATION: The Quest for a Theory of Everything appeared on CNN to discuss this fantastic first time direct observation.

KAKU ON FIRST BLACK HOLE IMAGE

Researchers at the National Science Foundation used a global network of space telescopes to capture the historic first image of a supermassive black hole and its shadow more than 55 million light-years away from Earth. CBS NEWS science and futurist contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku, joins CBSN to discuss the landmark announcement from a studio in Seattle, where Kaku was visiting for his U.S. book tour to promote the paperback release of his national bestseller, THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY: Our Destiny in the Universe.

KAKU ON NEW SPACE POLICY DIRECTIVE

In another example of life imitating art, the USA may soon create a real-world variation of STAR TREK‘s Starfleet. Today President Trump signed Space Policy Directive-3, a presidential memorandum aimed at setting national policy on Space Traffic Management (STM) and Space Situational Awareness (SSA). The President’s goal is to expand the national armed forces with a sixth branch of the military, the Space Force. Famed futurist and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku, joins Neil Cavuto on FOX Business with more insights. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON NEUTRON STAR GOLD

Astronomers struck gold this week, in more ways than one. For the first time, LIGO scientists have caught two neutron stars in the act of colliding — revealing that these cosmic smashups are the source of heavy elements like gold and platinum. The discovery was made by the same pioneering team that won this year’s Nobel Prize for its discovery of gravitational waves, once theorized and predicted by Albert Einstein. Famed futurist and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku, joins Kennedy on FOX Business with more insights. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON ‘COSMIC COINCIDENCE’

Millions plan to witness Monday’s coast-to-coast total solar eclipse that will move through a 70-mile-wide "Path of Totality" spanning over the United States across fourteen states from Oregon clear through to South Carolina. CBS News science and futurist contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku joins ‘CBS This Morning’ to discuss what he calls a once in a lifetime "cosmic coincidence" that should be on everyone’s bucket list. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON HISTORIC SOLAR ECLIPSE

On August 21, 2017, millions of people across the United States will witness a wondrous and historic spectacle — a total eclipse of the Sun. The Moon will completely block the Sun, daytime will become a deep twilight, and the Sun’s corona will shimmer in the dark sky. What makes this cosmic event rarer and more momentous is the eclipse’s "path of totality" which will darken skies along a straight line, spanning the nation from coast to coast. The so-called Great American Total Solar Eclipse will stretch about 70 miles wide from Oregon to South Carolina. Famed futurist and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku, joins Kennedy on FOX Business with everything you need to know about the big event. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON NASA TRIP TO THE SUN

Scheduled for a Summer 2018 launch, NASA‘s Solar Probe Plus will orbit the sun within four million miles of its surface, closer than any prior mission. CBS News science and futurist contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku joins ‘CBS This Morning’ to discuss the historic journey. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON BILLIONAIRE SPACE RACE

Which billionaire will get there first? SpaceX and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk versus Blue Origin and Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos? Both are engaged in what many are calling a new kind of space race. Famed futurist and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku, visits with Kennedy on FOX Business to discuss the so-called "billionaire space race" that’s behind the United States of America’s recently renewed prowess in space with their daring and visionary endeavors. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON SPACE EXPLORATION WISH LIST

President Trump has announced plans to privatize ‘low Earth orbit’ in order to devote NASA to ‘deep space exploration.’ Where will NASA go in the age of Trump? There are many advocates for a return mission to the Moon. Others push for a manned mission to Mars. Famed futurist and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku, chats with Kennedy on FOX Business to discuss these developments and share his own space exploration wish list. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON NASA TWINS STUDY

What are the long term effects of space travel on the human body? With an eye on Mars, that’s what NASA set out to reveal in it’s "Twins Study" Human Research Program. Four categories of research were split into ten investigations to study and evaluate identical twin astronauts, Scott and Mark Kelly — two individuals who share the same genetics but were subjected to different environments over a period of one year. The preliminary results packed a few surprises. Famed futurist and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku, talks with Kennedy on FOX Business about the study’s most remarkable findings. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON DISCOVERY OF EARTH-LIKE PLANET

Join Dr. Michio Kaku and hosts at CBSN, the "Always On" online news network from CBS NEWS, for a lively discussion of Proxima b — a newly discovered Earth-like planet also dubbed as Earth 2.0. What promise does Earth 2.0 hold for life back here on Earth 1.0? Dr. Kaku calls it "A New Chapter in Astronomy." WATCH NOW!

NASA: LIQUID WATER FOUND ON MARS

This week NASA announced that it has discovered a source of free-flowing water on the surface of the planet Mars, a breakthrough finding that could forever change how human beings view our celestial neighbor. Famed physicist/futurist and CBS News science contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku told ‘CBS This Morning’ that, with this, NASA may have “hit the jackpot.”

Public fascination with Mars has increased ever since NASA launched its unmanned rover Curiosity, which continually sends back images of the Martian landscape. Once thought to be too hostile to support life, the discovery of liquid water alters our understanding not only of the origins of the red planet but in the future potential for an eventual human presence on Mars. “It changes everything,” said Kaku, “It means that this liquid water can be used for, perhaps, irrigation, drinking water, and even rocket fuel.” WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON PLUTO NEW HORIZONS SUCCESS

On the historic success of NASA‘s space mission to the Pluto System, the New Horizons space probe has started sending back the first-ever high resolution close-up images of the dwarf planet’s surface. The data is traveling across a staggering three billion miles of space — the same distance traveled by the probe on its trek to Pluto and beyond. Meanwhile, here on Earth, scientists are studying the data as it continues to stream in. Dr. Michio Kaku joins Ed Schultz of MSNBC’s ‘The Ed Show’ to discuss the scientific and historic significance of New Horizons revelations about Pluto. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON PLUTO: HISTORY AT THE EDGE

Three billion miles from Earth, NASA‘s New Horizons space probe just flew by Pluto. The journey to the farthest edge of our solar system took nearly a decade to achieve. CBS News science and futurist contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku, who wrote an op-ed article for the Wall Street Journal entitled ‘That Pluto Probe Just Might Save the Earth’, joins ‘CBS This Morning’ to explain how this feat affects us here at home.
