Description
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) collaboration runs a system of meanwhile five Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes in the Khomas Highlands of Namibia. Observations of the sky in the photon energy range between below 100 GeV and ~100 TeV have revealed a large number of objects that are capable of efficiently accelerating particles to TeV energies. In this contribution, recent highlights obtained with H.E.S.S. will be presented.
