(Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes, MAGIC Florian Goebel Telescopes)

MAGIC (for Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes),
aka the MAGIC Florian Goebel Telescopes
is a Cherenkov gamma-ray telescope at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory consisting of
two of ground-based telescopes (MAGIC and MAGIC-II)
to detect Cherenkov radiation
resulting from high energy gamma rays,
in the same manner as the Cherenkov Telescope Array.
MAGIC went into operation in 2004 with a 2009 upgrade.
