Within the last few years, γ-ray astronomy has shifted from the discovery phase to the exploratory phase, thanks to the SAS-2 and COS-B satellites. The strongest feature of the γ-ray sky is the overwhelming emission of the galactic disc; even the radiation observed away from the galactic plane appears to be predominantly galactic, on the basis of its latitude dependence (Fichtel et al., 1978). Nevertheless, extragalactic γ-ray astronomy is not hopeless: the γ-radiation of the nearby quasar 3C273 has been very recently detected (Swanenburg et al., 1978). A brief summary of the present status of the galactic γ-ray astronomy follows.
