The German eROSITA Consortium presents a catalog of nearly 930,000 X-ray sources detected in the 0.2-2.3 keV energy band, covering half the sky from the first six months of the Spektrum Roentgen Gamma satellite survey (December 2019 to June 2020). This release increases the number of known X-ray sources in published literature by more than 60% and resolves about 20% of the cosmic X-ray background in the 1-2 keV range. The catalog includes both point-like and extended sources, with validated astrometric accuracy and methods to flag potential spurious detections.
