China’s giant space telescope will have a 300 times wider view than Hubble

Unlike NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the Xuntian will be close enough to Earth for maintenance. James Webb is roughly 1.5 million kilometers from Earth at Lagrange Point 2, while CSST will orbit near China's space station, meaning it will be relatively easy to service.

The Xuntian module's 2.5-billion-pixel camera will have a similar resolution to Hubble, but it will have a field of view 300 times greater. It will be able to survey roughly 40 percent of the sky over its roughly 10 years of operations.
