Description
The development and improvement of the Imaging Air Cherenkov Technique (IACT) has opened a new window to the Universe: the very-high-energy gamma-ray regime (VHE; E> 100 GeV). We currently know more than 300 sources that emit this kind of radiation, all of them with violent environments that allow for extreme particle acceleration and, hence, gamma-ray production. In this contribution, we will explore the Galactic VHE sky, reviewing the state-of-the-art of persistent, variable and transient sources.
