There are numerous new features, especially the inner ellipse with its bright knots. The ubiquity of the jet phenomenon clearly points to the importance of angular momentum as a physical key and critical parameter towards unlocking secrets to all or part of the emission mechanisms. The Chandra X-Ray Observatory will have a profound influence on astronomy and astrophysics. The Observatory is open to use by scientists throughout the world who successfully propose specific investigations. Acknowledgements I would like to thank the many members of the Chandra team, especially Steve O'Dell, Leon Van Speybroeck, Harvey Tananbaum, Steve Murray, Gordon Garmire, Claude Canizares, and Bert Brinkman.
