The latest achievements in very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy are discussed. Types of candidate objects for the sources of very high-energy gamma-quanta are considered, and pulsars, as the most probable ones, are anticipated. The objectives of VHE gamma-ray astronomy are presented, outlining
Large underground (underwater) detectors (such as 'Baikal' and DUMAND) are discussed for their possible use as gamma-ray telescopes. The signal is caused by high-energy muons (E, >~ 30-100 TeV) produced by the primary gamma-radiation in the Earth's atmosphere. The production of gamma-rays in the sou
