Description

In the 15 years since its construction, the H.E.S.S. gamma-ray observatory has allowed the study of the VHE gamma-ray sky at resolutions and sensitivities which were never before possible. During this period H.E.S.S. has discovered a rich zoo of both galactic and extra galactic source classes, made measurements of the galactic cosmic ray spectrum and placed limits of fundamental physical processes. We will present a summary of the latest H.E.S.S. results for these source classes, describing the most interesting new observations and their physical interpretation. Additionally I will detail the latest upgrades and improvements to the H.E.S.S. hardware and data analyses and the future science prospects for the experiment.
