✦ Synopsis

Weekes (Whipple Observatory, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) summarizes the status of gamma-ray astronomy at energies above 30 MeV at a critical point in the development of the discipline: the hiatus between the demise of the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope telescope, and the launch of the next generation of space telescope, GLAST, and the completion of the next generation of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov detectors involving large arrays of telescopes. He discusses detectors, telescopes in space, the galactic plane, observations of the Crab Nebula, gamma-ray pulsars and binaries, unidentified sources, gamma-ray bursts, diffuse background radiation, and other topics.

Bright gamma-ray flares observed from sources far beyond our Milky Way Galaxy are best explained if enormous amounts of energy are liberated by black holes. The highest- energy particles in nature--the ultra-high-energy cosmic rays--cannot be confined by the Milky Way's magnetic field, and must orig
