DESCRIPTION:The eROSITA X-ray telescope is the soft X-ray instrument on th
 e Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission\, launched successfully in 2019. B
 efore the start of its four-year all-sky survey\, eROSITA observed a numbe
 r of calibration and performance verification targets. The German eROSITA 
 team will shortly be releasing its data in an early data release. I will r
 eport on a number of results from these data focusing on galaxy clusters. 
 These observations include a 140 square-degree survey of the sky containin
 g a number of clusters and superclusters\, a detailed mosaic of a galaxy c
 luster pair\, and deep observations of relaxed and merging clusters.  With
  its wide field of view and well-characterised background eROSITA is perfe
 ct for detecting clusters and other faint structures which would be hard t
 o find using other X-ray telescopes. These results provide a number of ins
 ights about cluster populations and astrophysical processes.
