The telescope will be able to observe '10,000 full moons,' compared to NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, which takes images slightly larger than the size of the full moon.
"We are very excited about LEIA's results. They've shown that our technology works and the observation precision exceeded our expectation," said astrophysicist Yuan Weimin, the mission's chief scientist from the National Astronomical Observatory in Beijing.
