Description
During its first years of operation, the H.E.S.S. array of
imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes has revealed a sky
full of sources of very high energy gamma rays, has
demonstrated the great power of the Cherenkov technique, and
has motivated work towards a future, even more powerful
facility: the Cherenkov Telescope Array CTA. The talk will
illustrate some of the key results from H.E.S.S., mention
some of the open questions, and present the concept and
goals of CTA.
