Description
The launch of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) on December 2021 (re)opened the window of X-ray polarimetry. In its first 4.5 years of operation IXPE observed objects belonging to almost all classes of X-ray sources, with a wealth of interesting and often surprising results. In this talk I will provide a (inevitably biased) review of IXPE results, and briefly discuss possible future X-ray polarimetric missions.
