Many familiar faces with impressive resumes are in new places following one of major league baseball’s wildest free agent frenzies.

For all the vitriol, Major League Baseball owners and players have closed the gap in recent weeks and are negotiating on similar frameworks for a new collective bargaining agreement.

Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem and chief union negotiator Bruce Meyer met for 1 1/2 hours and discussed the major issues in the stalled talks to reach a deal that would end Major League Baseball’s lockout.

As Rob Manfred stood behind a podium in the left-field corner of Roger Dean Stadium, fans chanted at the baseball commissioner from outside the spring training home of the Miami Marlins and St_ Louis Cardinals: “We want baseball!”.

Major League Baseball extended its deadline for salvaging opening day and a 162-game season until Tuesday at 5 p.m. after a marathon of 13 bargaining sessions over 16 1/2 hours produced progress toward a deal but left the sides still far apart.

Representatives for the league and union paused exchanging formal proposals and instead held a series of smaller meetings with one day left until Major League Baseball's deadline to salvage an on-time start to the regular season.

Major League Baseball negotiations took several steps forward and overcame a possible breakdown, leaving less than two days until management’s deadline for an agreement to salvage opening day on March 31 and a 162-game schedule.

Baseball players and owners took a first step toward salvaging opening day, nearing agreement on an amateur draft lottery during lockout negotiations that included a surprise one-on-one meeting between Commissioner Rob Manfred and union head Tony Clark.

In case you missed the great conjunction last month, when the two biggest planets in our solar system -- Jupiter and Saturn -- appeared to come within 1/10 of a degree from each other, there’s another spectacular sight to catch this weekend: The triple conjunction. It will come into the same 2 degrees of sky with the two other planets this weekend, Forbes reports. Jupiter (L) and Saturn appear about one-tenth of a degree apart during an astronomical event known as a Great Conjunction on Dec. 21, 2020. (2020 Getty Images)Though not quite as spectacular as the other nights, the triple conjuncture will also be visible Friday and Monday. But because our solar system is such an amazing thing, by Feb. 13, the planets will emerge from behind the sun to form yet another triple conjunction, but at that time, just before sunrise.

SAN ANTONIO – Living in and around San Antonio, you probably know that the weather on Christmas Day can sometimes be a bit warm. Thankfully, if you’ve been wanting it to feel cool Christmas day, you’re in luck! Christmas Week Forecast7 Day ForecastThe winter solstice will occur Monday at 4:02 a.m., officially kicking off the winter seasonMonday will be pleasant with a cold start in the 30s and a comfy afternoon in the low-70s. Christmas Day, Friday, will again start off with a light freeze. You can also keep up with the Christmas forecast on our weather page.

SAN ANTONIO – Every 20 years or so, the orbits of Saturn and Jupiter line up to give those of us observing from Earth a treat -- seeing the two planets close together in the night sky. This year, however, the ‘great conjunction’ is getting a bit of extra hype for a few reasons. The first is that this year’s conjunction will be closest ‘joining’ of the two planets since 1623. When the phenomenon peaks on Monday, December 21, the two planets will appear only 0.1° apart. It’s also a happy coincidence that the conjunction is peaking the week of Christmas -- prompting many to nickname the conjunction as the ‘Christmas Star’ or the ‘Bethlehem Star.’How to view the Great ConjunctionSo how can you view this rare event from in and around San Antonio Christmas week?

(Bill Ingalls/NASA via AP)CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Jupiter and Saturn will merge in the night sky Monday, appearing closer to one another than they have since Galileo’s time in the 17th century. Jupiter passes its neighbor Saturn in their respective laps around the sun every 20 years. Saturn and Jupiter have been drawing closer in the south-southwest sky for weeks. Despite appearances, Jupiter and Saturn will actually be more than 450 million miles (730 million kilometers) apart. A telescope will not only capture Jupiter and Saturn in the same field of view, but even some of their brightest moons.

In March, we saw a Super Worm Moon, named for the earthworms and grubs that emerge after the winter season. And in May, we saw the supermoon known as the Flower Moon, Corn Planting Moon, Milk Moon or Vesak Festival Moon, according to NASA. Blue moon on HalloweenWe’ve all heard the saying, “once in a blue moon.” We use it to signify something that doesn’t happen all that often, and we definitely experienced that in 2020. We saw an actual blue moon --- which is the second full moon in a single month -- on Halloween. The next blue moon is not expected until August of 2021.

A major event is happening in the sky this month, and it’s one that won’t be matched again until 2080, according to experts. The two largest planets in our solar system — Jupiter and Saturn — will engage in what is called a great conjunction. The two massive planets will be at their closest on Dec. 21, when they will be only 0.1 degrees apart. The last time there was a great conjunction was in 2000, but the planets were near the sun and difficult to observe. The great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn happens every 20 years, but because of the way the two planets orbit, astronomers predict the view of this year’s won’t be matched until 2080.

As Christmas nears, astronomers are urging citizens to look to the sky in a few weeks to witness something not seen in almost 800 years. Forbes reported that Jupiter and Saturn will look like a “double planet” for the first time since the Middle Ages. You’ll be able to witness the event in the sky through binoculars or a small telescope, according to NASA. In astronomical terms, conjunction is when two objects line up in the sky. Some astronomers believe that the “star of Bethlehem” was a conjunction between Jupiter, Saturn and Mars.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Jupiter and its enticing moon Europa shine in a new photo by the Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble snapped the picture last month when the planet was 406 million miles (653 million kilometers) away, and the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore released it Thursday. Europa, which is smaller than our own moon, appears as a pale dot alongside its giant, color-streaked gas planet. NASA plans to launch a spacecraft, the Europa Clipper, later this decade to see if conditions there might be ripe for life. ___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

WASHINGTON President Donald Trump will highlight his environmental agenda as he campaigns in the battleground states of Florida and North Carolina on Tuesday. The White House says Trump will stop in Jupiter, Florida, on Tuesday to remind voters there of his conservation and environmental protection efforts in the Everglades region. For the federal budget year beginning Oct. 1, the White House said, Trump asked Congress for $250 million in annual funding to accelerate construction of infrastructure for the Everglades as part of the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration. The president will also hold a campaign rally Tuesday in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Trump narrowly won both states in the 2016 presidential election.
