We are excited to present the 14th edition of our (fully virtual) colloquium series!Here, we will celebrate the research and leadership by Indian women Astronomers and Cosmologists across the globe. Please use this zoom link to attend the talk. Abstract: Over the past two years, the eROSITA X-ray telescope aboard the SRG mission has completed four full scans of the sky. The resulting map of the hot, energetic universe contains over one million X-ray sources—doubling the number discovered in the entire 60-year history of X-ray astronomy. Most of these newly identified sources are active galactic nuclei at cosmological distances, offering unprecedented insight into the growth of supermassive black holes over cosmic time. eROSITA has also revealed thousands of galaxy clusters, tracing the evolution of large-scale cosmic structures and providing new constraints on key cosmological parameters. Closer to home, the survey has uncovered a rich variety of compact objects and exotic high-energy phenomena within our own Galactic neighborhood. In this talk, I will present the major results from the eROSITA all-sky survey and discuss its transformative impact on X-ray astronomy, along with a look ahead to future missions.
