PITTSBURGH (AP) — Herb Douglas, who turned a chance encounter with Jesse Owens as a teenager into fuel to win a bronze medal in the long jump at the 1948 Olympics, has died at 101. The University of Pittsburgh, where Douglas starred on both the football and track teams before later serving in various roles for his alma mater, said Douglas died Saturday. Douglas was 14 when he met Owens in the Pittsburgh neighborhood where Douglas grew up. Douglas told Owens he dreamed of reaching the Olympics, and Owens encouraged Douglas to get a college education. Douglas was inducted into the inaugural Pitt athletics Hall of Fame class in 2018. The university is naming the 300-meter indoor track at its planned Victory Heights facility after Douglas.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A spacecraft around Mars has sent back close-up photos of the red planet’s little moon. The United Arab Emirates spacecraft flew within 62 miles of Deimos last month. Called Amal _ Arabic for Hope, the spacecraft collected some of the most detailed images yet of the moon. It also observed the little explored far side of the odd-shaped, cratered moon. Scientists with the UAE Space Agency say these new images indicate the moon is not an asteroid that got captured in Mars’ orbit eons ago, the leading theory until now. Instead, they say the the moon appears to be of Martian origin.

NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News says it has agreed to part ways with Tucker Carlson, less than a week after settling a lawsuit over the network’s 2020 election reporting. The network said in a press release Monday that the popular and controversial prime-time host’s last program aired on Friday. Carlson became Fox’s most popular personality after replacing Bill O’Reilly in Fox’s prime-time lineup in 2016. He’s also consistently drawn headline for controversial coverage, including most recently airing tapes from the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection to minimize the impact of the deadly attack. There was no immediate explanation from Fox about why Carlson was leaving.
