Two of the biggest stories this week - like them or not - have been the risque photo shoot by reality TV star Kim Kardashian and the landing of a probe on a comet by the European Space Agency (ESA).
A lot of hype surrounded the ESA mission, which was 12 years in the making.
The world watched as the Philae lander detached from the Rosetta spacecraft some 300 million miles from Earth.
It has since sent back its first photos of the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet.
The landing was described as a "big step for human civilisation" by European Space Agency (ESA) Director-General Jean-Jacques Dordain when it was confirmed on Wednesday afternoon.
Meanwhile, US TV star Kim Kardashian dared to bare all in a magazine photo shoot.
The photos from Paper magazine were accompanied by the hashtag 'break the internet'.
They also included a picture of Ms Kardashian balancing a champagne glass on her backside.
However the photos drew some criticism, claiming they could feed into negative thoughts of people struggling with body issues and eating disorders.
They also saw the photoshop debate reignited, with psychotherapist Harriet Parsons saying: "We all have a responsibility to detract from that huge culture of photoshopped images and the pressure that that produces".
But the results are in: People wanted to know more about the comet than Ms Kardashian's behind.

Twitter - through the Wall Street Journal - says #cometlanding saw 667,574 tweets at the height of the event, while #breaktheinternet got 203,139.
It seems we still prefer to boldly go where no probe has gone before.
