本文对地基伽马射线天文学的发展进行了简短的个人描述，主要是在过去35年里，并对该领域的早期历史进行了一些讨论。有关切伦科夫事件的成像和使用阵列的潜力的想法在其开发所需的技术专门知识出现之前已经存在了一段时间。偶尔会有争议，伟大的创造力和一些英雄般的决心所有这些都是建立一个新的宇宙窗口的一部分。
This paper provides a brief, personal account of the development of ground-based gamma-ray astronomy, primarily over the last 35 years, with some digressions into the earlier history of the field. Ideas related to the imaging of Cherenkov events and the potential for the use of arrays were in existence for some time before the technical expertise required for their exploitation emerged. There has been occasional controversy, great creativity and some heroic determination—all of it part of establishing a new window into the universe.
