Institute of research into the fundamental laws of the Universe

Launched in July 2019, eROSITA was set to survey the sky in the soft X-ray band for four years and provide a much awaited update to the old ROSAT all-sky survey. In a few weeks, the collaboration will release the first all-sky map obtained from the first six month of observation. In this talk, I will present the instrument and its technical abilities. I will then explore the all-sky map and show selected results on individual local clusters and filaments. Finally, I will give a preview of the soon-to-be-released data products, including AGN and galaxy catalogs, and present some of the methods used for their cosmological analysis.
