Exploring the Extreme Universe with NuSTAR

\n
\n\n

The Nuclear Spectroscop ic Telescope Array\, or NuSTAR\, launched on

\n\n

June 13\, 2012\, and is the fir st telescope to focus high energy X-ray

\n\n

~~light. Compared to the previous ge neration of non-focusing~~

\n\n
observatories working in this energy band\, this change in technology
\n\n
provides NuSTAR with 10x sharper images and 100x impr oved sensitivity.
\n\n
High energy X-ray light provides a unique probe of the mos t energetic
\n\n
phenomena in the universe\, from flares on the surface of the Su n\,
\n\n
to the explosions of stars\, to the extreme environments around
\n\n
neutron stars and black holes. This talk will present some of the
\n\n
highlights from the first year of NuSTAR observations and describe
\n\n< P DIR=LTR>how they are changing ou r picture of the extreme universe.
