China Will Launch Space Telescope To Compete With NASA’s Hubble Telescope in 2023

KOMPAS.com – China said it would launch a telescope outer space giant in 2023.

This tool is predicted to be a telescope equivalent to the Telescope Outer Space Hubble, owned by the United States Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Reported from SpaceThursday (19/5/2022) space telescope China will later be used to observe galaxies that are very far away, and reveal the mysteries of dark matter and energy.

The telescope is called the Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST), which is an optical and ultraviolet space observatory using a 2 meter diameter lens.

Thus, the lens of the China Space Station’s space telescope will make it comparable to Space Telescope Hubble NASA who has contributed to the world of astronomy.

Although the resolution of the Chinese-made telescope is similar to that of Hubble, the CSST’s field of view is claimed to be larger.

Liu Jifeng, Deputy Director of the National Astronomical Observatories of China, explained that the CSST field of view is even 350 times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope.

Not only that, CSST is said to be able to observe at least 40 percent of the outer space with its 2.5 billion pixel resolution camera.
