Progress in the field of X-ray astronomy has been rapid since the dawn of the space age: increasing from a single cosmic X-ray source in 1962 to nearly 19,000 in 1999. This talk will be a general overview of the many different-but (almost) always extremely hot, violent, and variable-sources that populate the X-ray sky: our Sun and other stars, X-ray binaries, supernova remnants, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and million- to billion-solar-mass black holes.California Academy of Sciences, Benjamin Dean Lecture Series held in the Morrison Planetarium    recorded: 4/28/2008
