        <description>Abstract : During their 12 years in space, the five BRITE-Constellation nano-satellites have completed observations of about 730 individual targets typically brighter than about 6th magnitude. The data have allowed us to study a variety of variability phenomena covering a wide range across the HR-diagram including different types of pulsations, wind phenomena, rapidly rotating stars (e.g. Be), binary and multiple systems, and stars with planets. Some of the prime science results therefore comprise the discovery of massive heartbeat systems, the apparent interaction of phenomena on very different time scales in Be stars, observations of a Nova, or the presence of only two pulsation modes in a magnetic delta Scuti star. I will give an overview of the BRITE-Constellation mission and show selected highlights of the scientific results achieved with BRITE-Constellation data Konstanze Zwintz is professor at the University of Innsbruck. Her research focuses around an improvement of the description of early stellar evolution through pulsations. She is member of the BRITE-Constellation Executive Science Team and has contributed to the mission since its start</description>
