`
`Your AirPods just got a quiet update
`
`Without a dedicated AirPods app or section in iOS Settings, just how do you
`go about keeping your earbuds up to date?

`
`Apple on Wednesday released the first firmware update for its wireless
`AirPods ($119 at Amazon). The update bumps the firmware from 3.3.1 to
`3.5.1, but without a change log it's hard to know what Apple fixed,
`changed or added.
`
`The update was first spotted by a Reddit user.
`
`If you've had your AirPods connected to your iPhone in the past 24
`hours, odds are the update is already installed without you having to do
`a thing.

`
`Check the firmware version of your AirPods by opening the Settings
`app, then going to > General > About > AirPods. Note: AirPods will only
`display in About when connected to your iPhone.
`
`If the firmware version isn't 3.5.1, place both AirPods in the charging case
`and leave it connected to your iPhone. The update will install
`automatically in the background. Wait a bit, then re-check the firmware
`version in About, and it should reflect the latest firmware version.
`
`Today's update comes a week after Apple released iOS 10.3 in beta,
`which included a Find My AirPods feature.

`If the state of the

`down or you're just
`terrified that ducks can
`now speak human

`you to stop what
`you're doing for a few
`moments and gaze in
`awe at this photo by
`Thomas Pesquet, a
`French astronaut
`currently residing
`inside the International
`Space Station.
`
`Pesquet, an engineer
`with the European
`Space Agency, is one

`
`mission and member
`of NASA's Expedition
`65, which launched to
`the station in April. It's
`his second spaceflight and he's become known around these parts for
`delivering some absolutely surreal images of our home planet.
`
`ESA/NASA–T. Pesquet
`
`This may be his best yet.
`
`Snapped from the cupola of the ISS, Pesquet's view of the Earth sees
`city lights "battle it out" with the light from distant stars. The orange band
`around the Earth is, according to astronomer Juan Carlos Munoz, the
`emission of sodium atoms, approximately 90 kilometers above Earth's
`surface. 
`
`There's also a faint green band just beyond it if you squint hard enough -
`- that's created by oxygen atoms being excited. 
`
`It's not easy to get such a photo and Pesquet notes he's missed his
`share of shots.

`
`"Not only do you as a photographer have to stay extremely still holding
`the camera, but also the Space Station moves so fast that there will be
`some motion anyway," Pesquet explains in his photo caption. The ISS is
`travelling at over 17,000 miles an hour and completes an orbit over the
`Earth every 90 minutes or so. 
`
`It's a busy time up on the station, with the third SpaceX Crew-3 mission
`expected to launch on Halloween and begin ISS Expedition 66. Pesquet
`will take over as the commander in late October when the four-person
`crew on the Crew-3 mission join the station. Expedition 66 is also
`notable because it will include two Russian civilians, film director Klim
`Shipenko and actress Yulia Peresild, who will launch on a Soyuz rocket
`on Oct. 5 to film scenes for a movie called The Challenge. Not quite Tom
`Cruise, we know, but he's heading up there sometime soon, too.
`
`If you're after more holy moly moments, you should visit Pesquet's Flickr
`account, which includes an assortment of space stunners.
