We give an overview of the AGILE [Formula: see text]-ray satellite scientific highlights. AGILE is an Italian Space Agency (ASI) mission devoted to observations in the 30[Formula: see text]MeV–50[Formula: see text]GeV [Formula: see text]-ray energy range, with simultaneous X-ray imaging in the 18–60[Formula: see text]keV band. Launched in April 2007, the AGILE satellite has completed its tenth year of operations in orbit, and it is substantially contributing to improve our knowledge of the high-energy sky. Emission from cosmic sources at energies above 100[Formula: see text]MeV is intrinsically nonthermal, and the study of the wide variety of observed Galactic and extragalactic [Formula: see text]-ray sources provides a unique opportunity to test theories of particle acceleration and radiation processes in extreme conditions.
