Scientists with NASA’s Lucy mission are finally wrapping up the process of refining the data gathered by the spacecraft’s April 20 encounter with Donaldjohanson, an asteroid in our solar system’s main asteroid belt. And it’s, uh, as peanut-shaped as we first saw it. Earlier this year, Lucy’s Long Range Reconnaissance Imager snapped an image of Donaldjohansson while quickly swooping past it, at a distance of about 600 miles (960 kilometers), with the smallest visible features measuring around 13

Android 16’s Live Updates won’t work with your favorite music player, and that’s a bummer

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 introduces Live Updates, a new feature that elevates ongoing notifications to the status bar, but it excludes media playback notifications. This is because media apps use a dedicated “Media style” template, which is not one of the specific styles that can be promoted to a Live Update. Switching styles would cause media apps to lose key playback controls and features, a trade-off developers are unlikely to make for this new functionality. Li
