SUMMARY:The Very High Energy Universe\, Physics Department Colloquium\
 , Rene Ong\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:Our understanding of the very high energy (VHE) universe h
 as progressed rapidly during the last few years as a result of new ins
 truments and exciting discoveries. In particular\, ground-based telesc
 opes\, such as VERITAS in southern Arizona\, have discovered many astr
 ophysical sources of VHE gamma rays\, including supernova remnants\, b
 inary star systems\, blazars\, and radio galaxies. These telescopes ar
 e also carrying out sensitive searches for the annihilation of particl
 e dark matter. Similar exciting results are arriving from the recently
 -launched Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. This talk will overview wha
 t we know about the VHE universe and describe recent exciting results 
 from VERITAS.  The future prospects for high-energy gamma-ray and neut
 rino astronomy will be summarized.
