摘要：

Gamma-ray astronomy provides a diagnostic tool to study high energy processes in the Universe. At present , NASA's Compton Observatory is performing the first complete sky survey in gamma-ray astronomy. The observatory was launched on April 5, 1991 by the Space Shuttle Atlantis into a near-earth orbit. An overview about the first highlight results from this mission is given. Special topics of presentation will be: pulsars (especially the Crab and Vela pulsars), the diffuse galactic gamma-ray emission from interstellar space, the nuclei of active galaxies (especially quasars), the 511keV and 1.8 MeV gamma-ray line emissions from the central region of the galaxy, the puzzle of cosmic gamma-ray bursts and finally, the Sun during solar flare acitvities.
