The two MAGIC telescopes (Major Atmospheric Gamma-Ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes) are the world's largest aerial Cherenkov telescopes.
MAGIC's instruments are able to indirectly observe cosmic gamma radiation.
The two MAGIC I and MAGIC II telescopes are dedicated to the German astrophysicist Florian Goebel, who lost his life in a tragic accident on 10 September 2008 while working on the MAGIC II telescope.

The Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM) boasts an impressive and photogenic telescope array. Over 20 telescopes are set up here, exploring the universe. The ORM is one of the largest observatories in the world. Nowhere else will you feel so close to the stars.
