Up until latterly , Kylie Jenner – youngest of the Kardashian - Jenner clan – held the deed of conveyance for most - like Instagram post ever . Theimage in questionwas study last February and indicate a little babe Stormi clutching a manicure thumb ( presumably Kylie ’s ) .
But alas , it is no more . So , what example of photographic genius has taken over such a desired title ?
A picture of an egg .
And here it is in its full glory :
The post has , at time of authorship , racked up more than 33 million like , making Kylie ’s 18 million look like a drop in the ocean . What ’s more , the history ( world_record_egg ) has just 3.6 million followers equate to Kylie ’s admittedly impressive 123 million .
In retaliation , she hit back with a video of herself with an egg , which she then proceeds to smash up on the earth . That has 3.5 million likes – so sorry , Kylie . It looks like the egg is still winning . At least for now .
Anyway , while we have nothing against Kylie or , indeed , the nut , we do think there are photo out there that merit the deed of most - liked Instagram brand a small more . Here are just a few :
Titan , NASA
Last July , NASA publisheda series of imagestaken on its Cassini ballistic capsule , including this trippy - looking phone number of Titan , Saturn ’s large moon . The yolk - like dress circle in the midriff is Titan as it appears in natural luminance . The other six , taken in infrared , are the outcome of 13 years of data and the most - detailed survey of the moon to day of the month .
Snow in the Arizona desert , @acbohme
The Arizona desert looks middling spectacular whatever meter of year you visit , but there is something in particular surreal and witching about cacti dripping in Charles Percy Snow . Earlier this year , people took to Twitter and Instagram toshare their shotsof this unusual sight .
Seahorse ride a Q - tip , NatGeo
The photographer , Justin Hofman , who took this image ofa sea horse floating along on a Q - tipwon an awarding , not just because of his serendipitous timing and photographic skill but because it play up the ever - growing problem of single - use plastic , particularly when it comes to marine liveliness .
Plesiosaur skeleton , Natural History Museum
We like to guess these fictile dinos skulking around the museum ’s halls at nighttime , when all the visitors have gone .
Far side of the lunation , NASA
Earlier this yr , a Chinese investigation commit back thefirst - ever imagesactually taken on the far side of the moonlight . Although this shot , taken a little to begin with , was captured from a length , it show the far side of the moon illuminated by the Sun with the Earth in the desktop . It looks rather magical , do n’t you think ?
" Fire Rainbow " , @charlestonsc
Instagram is full of dazzling images ofaurora borealis(aka the Northern Lights ) , but have you ever seen a fire rainbow ? Ok , so it is notactuallya fire rainbow . Technically speak , it ’s acircumhorizontal arc , a natural phenomenon that can occur when the Sun has risen higher than 58 ° in the sky . This particular instance was taken in Charleston , South Carolina , in 2015 .
Daddy penguin environ by wench , @paulnicklen
Paul Nicklen is a Canadian photographer , filmmaker , and maritime biologist whose work has been featured in NatGeo . This special jibe record an adult penguin caught in a crowd of chicks . concord to Nicklen , dame huddle together close together when their parent go out to sea , presumptively making it hard for parent and chick to find each other on their payoff .
Fuego Volcano , @albertdrosphotography
This shot of Fuego volcano in Guatemala was take in 2017 , showing that nature can be both beautiful and dead terrifying – even at the same time .
Human brain , Interstellate
This looks like the work of an abstract artist , but it actually shows the nerves connecting the left and veracious hemispheres of a human brain , aka the " corpus callosum " ( show in red ) .
Mount Sharp , Mars Curiosity
This black - and - white shot lead by NASA ’s Curiosity Rover looks like it could have been appropriate on Earth , but it is actuallyMount Sharp , a 5 - kilometer - improbable ( 3 mile ) mint on the surface of Mars . NASA believes the Gale Crater used to be filled with pee , but over millions of twelvemonth , layers of deposit make up to make Mount Sharp .
