The MAGIC II Cherenkov Telescope at the Observatory Roque de los Muchachos (ORM), La Palma. This huge mirror (17 meters in diameter) detects faint flashes of light (so called Cherenkov radiation) that are released when high energy gamma rays hit the Earth's atmosphere. To get some impression of the enormous size of this instrument: Each of the square mirror segments measures 1 by 1 meter!
This instrument works together with the neighbouring MAGIC I telescope (which is refelcted in the mirror in this view), forming a stereoscopic pair that can determine the precise location of the celestial object that sent out the gamma rays.
In the background, thedome of the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) is visible.
