While star formation regions are usually studied at long wavelengths, they are also significant emitters of high energy X-rays. The Chandra X-ray Observatory provides unique high-resolution imaging, spectroscopy and timing data which reveal a wealth of new information on star forming regions. We see X-rays from magnetic reconnection flares, Herbig-Haro outflows, O star wind termination shocks, the complex starburst in the Galactic Center, and more. The findings address issues ranging from stellar dynamo theory to the origin of planetary systems.
