Summary
X-ray astronomy is a relatively new field of astronomy, which looks into the hot and energetic parts of the universe. Turning into the 21st century, X-ray astronomy has been in a golden age with the emergence of Chandra X-ray Observatory. I will present a general introduction of X-ray astronomy and a brief discussion of science
cases with some examples of supernova remnants. The current status of Korean X-ray astronomy and future opportunities for Korea in this field will also be
briefly discussed.
