Seemingly out of nowhere, social media has become flooded with the cutesy, and terrifying, selfie masterpieces of Meitu. The photo-editing app has already enjoyed years of popularity in China, and has now nearly taken over the internet after being discovered in the West as well. Not only have users tested it out on themselves, but they’ve also used it to create hilarious images of famous figures, including president-elect Donald Trump (on left). Meitu photos of Kylie Jenner, Jack Nicholson in The Shining, Michelle Obama, and 'Salt Bae' are pictured on the right, clockwise from the top.

Does the mysterious WOLF 1061c hold life? Astronomers say nearby exoplanet lies within the habitable zone
Astronomers are investigating a planet just outside of Earth’s solar system that could have the right conditions to support life. Known as Wolf 1061c, the planet sits right within the habitable zone, and is close enough for scientists to conduct ongoing studies. But, it is positioned close to the inner edge of this region, meaning it could be subjected to extreme heat that becomes trapped in its atmosphere, spurring a runaway greenhouse effect.
Can YOU beat an AI in an intelligence test? Researchers reveal software that scores higher than the average person
Northwestern University's new computational model scores within the 75th percentile, better than the average person, on a visual reasoning test known as Raven’s Progressive Matrices. Researchers say the achievement is a step toward AI that can see and understand the world the way we do. Two examples of problems in this type of test are shown above. Each contains a matrix with one missing image. Eight options are shown in the rectangle below each problem. Choose the answer that would best fill in the missing space.

The incredible moment an orangutan uses a SAW to cut tree branches after watching builders do the same

An orangutan has been captured performing DIY better than some humans. Incredible new footage reveals a female great ape using a saw to skilfully divide a branch in two. The talented ape uses her right hand to hold the tool and her feet to grip the tree branch like a vice. The scenes were filmed in Borneo as part of the BBC One series 'Spy In The Wild', which features eerily realistic robots disguised as a series of different animals. It will be shown in the UK tonight at 8pm.
Saturn's bizarre 'wavemaker' moon: Stunning image reveals the ripples in between the planet's rings created by Daphnis
A stunning new image from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows the closest view yet of Saturn’s ‘wavemaker’ mini-moon Daphnis as it creates ripples along the Keeler Gap. The 5-mile-wide moon orbits within the gap, and its gravity causes the edges to wave in both the horizontal and vertical directions. In the image, Cassini has also captured a barely-visible tendril of ring material that’s thought to have been drawn out by Daphnis before dispersing.
Life among the monkey hunters: The Amazon tribe that eats primates they have learned to catch by climbing trees and shooting them with blowpipes
British photographer Pete Oxford took these amazing photographs of the Huaorani tribe, who live in the rainforests of Ecuador, by a tributary of the mighty Amazon river. A Huaorani man returns from a day hunting monkeys in the jungle (left). They are experts at shinning up trees and lying in wait for the primates, which they kill with poisoned darts fired from blowpipes (top right). Monkey meat is a staple of their diet, which also includes peccary pigs and toucans aswell as plants and herbs foraged in the forest by the women. But decades of tree-climbing has led to the tribesmen's feet evolving - most now have very flat feet (bottom right) and because of the small gene pool many also have six toes.
Stunning new images of SpaceX's 'make or break' launch are released as rocket that made inch-perfect landing returns to port
It was a make or break flight for SpaceX - and a total success. Elon Musk's rocket company today released stunning new images of its rocket launching a series of Iridium satellites into orbit - then landing back on a drone boat. The images reveal the nailbiting moment the rocket returned to its waiting barge - and made a perfect landing. It was released as the Falcon 9 rocket booster made its way into the port of Los Angeles aboard the barge (inset).

The video, which was filmed in the African Savannah, will be shown as part of tonight's episode of the BBC documentary Spy in the Wild at 8PM GMT.

At first sight the camera looks exactly like the real thing – and it seems the father ostrich cannot tell the difference.
China reveals 'Sharp Sword' stealth drone that can carry two TONNES of bombs
China has revealed a stealth drone dubbed ‘Sharp Sword’ that that could be capable of dropping more than 4,000 pounds of bombs. The unmanned aerial vehicle won second place in China’s National Science and Technology Advancement Prizes, and is the first non-NATO craft of its kind, according to Popular Science . It’s said the Sharp Sword could enter service as soon as 2019-2020 for use in reconnaissance missions and for tracking foreign warships, and eventually, it could be used for combat.
Having a blast: Moment hundreds of tonnes of molten lava spews into the sea in front of stunned tourists on a boat trip

Tourists braved the choppy seas and deadly eruptions taking place at the Kamokuna lava delta in Hawaii since it collapsed on December 31. They were stunned when a red hot stream of 1000c lava suddenly crashed through the side of the black rock - causing an incredible hose pipe effect.
The US Army 'Stormtrooper' hoverbike that could soon ferry soldiers into battle takes to the air for the first time
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20170120041136im_/http://video.dailymail.co.uk/preview/mol/2017/01/18/2025999689415766340/636x382_JPG-SINGLE_2025999689415766340.jpg)
The US Army's 'hoverbike' has hit the skies (main) to show off its capabilities after two and a half years of development. Hailed the 'Amazon on the battlefield', the joint tactical aerial resupply vehicle is designed to fly low to the ground at speeds of 60 miles per hour while delivering supplies to soldiers on the battlefield within 30 minutes. The Army's 'hoverbike' is being compared to the speeder bike driven by Stormtroopers in Star Wars, which is shown in a scene (inset) with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) battling a Stormtrooper on their speeder bike in Star Wars Return of the Jedi.
How Earth's last ice age evolved: Stunning images reveal how the Eurasian ice sheet grew 37,000 years ago
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20170120041136im_/http://video.dailymail.co.uk/preview/mol/2017/01/18/7647411431253557611/636x382_JPG-SINGLE_7647411431253557611.jpg)
Scientists have reconstructed the evolution of the Eurasian ice sheet in unprecedented detail, showing the transformation of the sheet from its first steps 37,000 years ago. In a series of high-resolution models, researchers calculated how much it grew by the time it reached the maximum extent, hitting a volume twice that of the Mediterranean Sea just 15,000 years after the process began. The researchers say the work will help to improve our understanding of the effects of climate and ocean warming on the dwindling ice masses that exist today.
