Can you spot all seven of the New Wonders of the World in this brainteaser?Credit: eShores

Travel company eShores created a Seven Wonders of the World-themed brainteaser, allowing travel lovers to test their knowledge and puzzling-solving ability.

A huge three-quarters can’t find all of the New Seven Wonders in less than two minutes but can you?

The average time to solve the puzzle is 2 minutes 11 seconds; however, the current record time to beat is a speedy 31 seconds. How do you measure up?

Here's exactly what you're looking for:

The Great Wall of China, China

Petra, Jordan

Christ the Redeemer Statue, Brazil

Machu Picchu, Peru

Chichén Itzá , Mexico

The Colosseum, Italy

The Taj Mahal, India

The New Seven Wonders of the World is a famous group of historic, man-made constructions chosen by a worldwide poll.

The New Seven Wonders were established due to many of the Ancient Wonders of the World no longer being accessible, as they had been destroyed or lost to time.

The New Seven Wonders represent cultural heritage around the globe and showcase the scale of human achievement found throughout history and society.

NGC 5068, released June 2023: The brightness in the upper left is the central bar of galaxy NGC 5068—a dense slash of stars and gas through its midsection, seen around 17 million light-years away in the Virgo constellation.

Few scientific tools get introduced in a press conference by the commander-in-chief. But NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is no ordinary instrument. President Biden unveiled the first image from JWST in July 2022, revealing the sharpest, deepest infrared view of the universe ever taken. And that was only the beginning.

The solar-powered device, which drifts at a stable point 930,000 miles away from Earth, has since captured giant galaxies from the cosmic dawn; helped researchers discover the most distant and active supermassive black hole; snapped glowing views of Saturn and Jupiter; and found a new world beyond our solar system. It has teased out the details of the atmospheres above exoplanets and made the first-ever in-space detection of a molecule called methyl cation, a building block for the more complex carbon compounds found on Earth.

The telescope was built on several aerospace innovations. Its mirrors are plated in a microscopic film of gold, optimized to reflect light. Its imagers, which include the Near-Infrared Camera and Mid-Infrared Instrument, allow JWST to look beyond cosmic dust and sense weak and ancient light from up to 13 billion years ago, just 800,000 years after the universe was born.

These remarkable James Webb Space Telescope images show stars, galaxies, and space in all their sparkling glory. What are your favorites?

Pillars of Creation, released October 2022: This image, a composite from two JWST cameras, shows orange infant stars emerging from a massive cloud of dust and gas: the famous Pillars of Creation, which are 6,500 light-years away in the Eagle Nebula.

Supernova prelude, released March 2023: This picture was taken moments, astronomically speaking, before a disaster. A dying Wolf-Rayet star, at the center of the image, is preparing to explode. It is 30 times bigger than our sun, NASA notes, and has already shed about 10 sun’s worth of mass, creating the shroud of gas around it.

Cartwheel galaxy, released August 2022: Located 500 million light-years away in the Sculptor constellation, the Cartwheel galaxy’s unique structure resulted from a collision between two star clusters.

Warped galaxies, released March 2023: The warped, fisheye-like effect in this image is the result of what’s called gravitational lensing. A massive object in the foreground—a cluster of galaxies—is distorting the space-time around it. As light travels through that warp toward JWST, it bends, causing the appearance of streaks and arcs.

Spiral galaxy IC 5332, released September 2022: JWST’s Mid-infrared Instrument can sense the gas patterns, arranged here like the strands of a cobweb, within a galactic structure. Galaxy IC 5332 is 66,000 light-years in diameter—a bit bigger than our Milky Way—and sits about 29 million light-years from Earth.

Jupiter, released August 2022: JWST’s Near-Infrared Camera captured our solar system’s glowing gas giant, whose rings shine a million times fainter than the planet itself.

SMACS 0723, released July 2022: In the first publicly released image taken by JWST, the galaxy cluster known as SMACS 0723 is a swarm of stars and spirals. Thanks to the lensing effects of gravity, JWST was able to detect super-distant galaxies—some shown here are from the universe’s first billion years.

Orion Nebula, released June 2023: Life as we know would be impossible without the element carbon. Within a protoplanetary disk in the Orion Nebula, 1,350 light-years away, JWST sensed the emission lines—a specific pattern of light—for methyl cation. This was the first detection of the carbon-based compound in space.

Carina Nebula, July 2022: The telescope pierced the dust clouds of a star nursery to reveal freshly made suns in one of the first JWST images. The young stars emit ultraviolet radiation, and have carved what NASA named “Cosmic Cliffs” into the nebula.

Saturn, released June 2023: In near-infrared light, the rings of gas giant Saturn are neon bright. The planet itself is darker because its atmosphere contains methane gas, which absorbs sunlight at this wavelength.

Hourglass protostar, released November 2022: This protostar is a hot mass of gas that’s drawn into a central core. Once that core is sufficiently dense and scorching, it will trigger nuclear fusion, becoming a sun.

NGC 3256, released July 2023: This unevenly shaped galaxy, about the same size as the Milky Way, shows the scars of a collision. Dust and stars streak from its center; some material has been yanked toward the galaxy’s edge, roughly 120 million light-years from us. In the image’s bright spots, new stars form, their births caused by the clash.Only the eagle-eyed with high IQ can spot new Seven Wonders of the World in seven seconds

A travel company has designed a travel-themed brain teaser challenging the public to spot the new Seven Wonders of the World.

Eshores, a travel company, based its puzzle on the new seven wonders of the world and has left it to globetrotters to test their skills and spot the landmarks celebrated all over the globe.

Three-quarters of those who viewed could not find them all in under two minutes, with an average time of two minutes 11 seconds, and the current record is an unbelievable 31 seconds.

The wonders to be found are as follows, The Great Wall Of China, Petra, Jordan, Christ the Redeemer, Brazil, Machu Picchu, Peru, Chichén Itzá, Mexico, The Colosseum, Italy, and the Taj Mahal, India.

Can you spot them all?

Established due to the ancient wonders being lost to time, inaccessible or destroyed, the New Seven Wonders represent global cultural heritage and showcase human achievement found throughout history.

Eagle-eyed travellers should be able to spot the seven wonders in around two minutes, but some have managed the feat in just over 30 seconds, so this should separate the amateurs from the professionals when it comes to travelling - are you the most travelled in your group?

The new seven wonders focus solely on man-made objects, some of you will have been lucky enough to see them in the flesh, but for those who haven't this graphic shows a peak at what you can see.

Struggling to find them all? Check out the reveal below.

eShores created the teaser to inspire cultural intrigue in some of the world's most well-known structures.

There are seven wonders in total all decided by a worldwide poll. They include The Great Wall Of China, Petra, Jordan, Christ the Redeemer, Brazil, Machu Picchu, Peru, Chichén Itzá, Mexico, The Colosseum, Italy, and the Taj Mahal, India.

If you managed to get it done in under two minutes then you're above the average and a seasoned traveller, especially if you found Chris the Redeemer, positioned in a specifically tough spot on the image.
