    The best view of the telescope is in the late afternoon from the highest mountain on the island.

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