Abstract
A sensitive X-ray telescope can bring about a revolution in observations of the CGM. Its hot component, now mostly undetected, will be richly mapped around normal galaxies. These observations, augmented by advances in the radio and a continued progress in the UV and mm-waves, will expose the missing pieces of our understanding of galaxy formation.
