This presentation serves as an introduction to the Meeting in a Meeting (MiM) "12 Years of Science with Chandra". Chandra's superb, sub-arcsecond, angular resolution --- a capability which will, unfortunately, not be matched or surpassed for years to come --- is the inspiration for this MiM. Chandra's spectacular images and detailed spectra of astrophysical systems ranging from solar system objects to distant galaxies and galaxy clusters have provided information on such diverse topics as the properties of planetary and cometary atmospheres, stellar formation and demise, black hole-galaxy-cluster interactions, and properties of dark matter and dark energy. We present a overview and status report on the Observatory, its future prospects, and mention some recent highlights not covered by other speakers in the 6 sessions of the MiM.
