  This paper summarizes the status of very high-energy (VHE) astronomy, as of
early 2003. It concentrates on observations made by gamma-ray telescopes
operating at energies above 10 GeV. This field is an exciting one to be working
in, with a growing and varied list of established sources that includes
plerions, supernova remnants, and active galactic nuclei. New results include
the discovery of the first unidentified source at these energies and the
detection of gamma rays from a nearby starburst galaxy (NGC 253). The arrival
of a new generation of telescopes, both on the ground and in space, argues that
we can anticipate a wealth of exciting results in the near future.
