The universe contains an extremely wide variety of temperature structures from 3K to 1 billion K and even beyond. This symposium focuses on the hot part of the universe. The “hot universe” is by far the best place to study high-energy astrophysics. In this overview, I shall be based mainly on the results in the X-ray band that best manifests the hot universe. However, needless to say that multi-wavelength investigations, from radio, infrared through gamma-rays, are essential for comprehensive understanding.
