From the Cosmic Rocks in the Carina Nebula to the Pillars of Creation and a fiery protostar, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has released a gallery of cosmic images in 2022 – but your favorite images may reveal who you are.
The official Twitter account of the telescope is shared by tweet Friday with a personality test asking users to pick their favorite images from three to four categories.
NASA then provides features associated with the choices.
Depending on the images chosen, he could be a time traveller, stargazer, homebody or trendsetter.
NASA says time travelers can have a vintage look, while travelers are constantly growing and changing, domesticated bodies stick to routine and trendsetters are ahead of the curve.
The first series of images in NASA’s challenge included (A) Webb’s First Deep Field; (B) Cosmic rocks in the Carina Nebula; (C) Jupiter; and (D) Webb data showing the presence of water in the atmosphere of the exoplanet VESPA-96 b
It’s been just over a year since NASA blasted a $10 billion telescope into space — and after awe-inspiring images of the cosmos lit up in an unusual way.
Webb was launched from the Guiana Space Center on Christmas Day 2021 to look back in time to the dawn of the universe, to capture what happened two hundred million years after the Big Bang.
The first series of images in NASA’s challenge included (A) Webb’s First Deep Field; (B) Cosmic rocks in the Carina Nebula; (C) Jupiter; and (D) Webb data showing the presence of water in the atmosphere of the exoplanet VESPA-96 b.
The second set of images shows (A) Stephan’s Quintet; (b) the column of creation near refracted light; (c) The Rings of Neptune & the Moon; and (D) the first evidence of carbon dioxide in an exoplanet’s atmosphere.
The final set includes (A) Cartwheel Galaxy; (b) Cloud L1527 and hidden protostar; (C) Saturn’s moon Titan; and (D) Webb’s direct image of an exoplanet, HIP 65426 b.
All these images have never been seen before in the sight of cosmic wonders.
This is thanks to Webb’s Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI), which see light in the mid-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
These technologies collect data never seen before and allow the telescope to look back in time to hundreds of thousands of years after the big bang.
And while the world is in awe of images, NASA believes they can tell a lot about a person’s personality.
For those who chose the most A’s in the three groups, the American space agency thinks it’s time for you.
Words to describe this man thrive in chaos, he is nostalgic and he exudes vintage style.
“As looking at the galaxies allows us to see billions of years in the past, your style has arrived back in time. You are in a vintage look. And you thrive in chaos, like a Galactic merger,” reads the tweet.
If most of your favorite Webb pictures were B’s, you’re a stargazer who’s dream is the star of the show and the reality still remains.
Your head in the clouds. As you often hold the star nebula in its early stages, you are always growing & changing. Believe in yourself – you bring light to the universe. Keep shining, NASA shared on Twitter.
And for C, consider yourself a man.

“As looking at the galaxies allows us to see billions of years in the past, your style has reached back in time. You are in a vintage look. And you are happy in the chaos, you sink like a galaxy, NASA shared in a tweet
The words used to describe this group are introvert, thick-skinned and a person who loves comfort and exercise.
An introvert prefers your own orbit. Comfy and exercise is fine with you. As a Titan, you have thick air. But if anyone is in your orbit, they will see your hidden charms, according to the tweet.
The last circle, which is D’, is for trendsetters who are ahead of the curve, mysterious and rather textual than they call anyone.
‘Always ahead of the curve & planning your next move, you can be seen far away at first. It’s like how often you can detect exoplanets indirectly, you can prefer text over call. You’re keeping our universe exciting, NASA shared.

A fun quiz is a great way to close out the year that started Webb’s epic mission.
The scientists predicted that the telescope, now orbiting the sun a million miles from Earth, should last 20 years.
The tools are more efficient, sharper and more stable in perspective. We have more fuel and we use less fuel, said Massimo Stiavelli, chief of the Webb mission at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore.
The orbiting infrared observatory is designed to be about 100 times more powerful than its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope.
NASA is thinking of James Webb as a successor to Hubble rather than a replacement, so the two will work together at the same time.

The JWST project, which began in 1996, was an international collaboration led by NASA in partnership with the European and Canadian space agencies.
