Walter Lewin joined the X-ray Astronomy group at MIT in January 1966 when this new field went through a fascinating rapid growth and evolution. He will discuss the events that led to the discovery of the first extra-solar X-ray sources in 1962, and he will talk about some of the pioneering contributions made in the decade that followed.
