VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is a major, newly-comissioned observatory for gamma-ray astronomy in the 100 GeV - 50 TeV energy band. The observatory, located on Mt. Hopkins, AZ, consists of four 12m-diameter telescopes that detect very high-energy gamma rays via the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique. VERITAS became fully operational in Spring 2007 and has embarked on a broad program of observations of galactic and extragalactic sources of interest, as well as studies of signatures for new physics such as dark matter. This talk will outline the main characteristics and performance attributes of VERITAS and will summarize the major results from the observatory in the last six months.
