摘要
I will review the current status of the MAGIC Observatory for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy, and present the results of recent measurements of three sources: the Crab nebula, Mkn421 (z = 0.03), and 1ES1959+650 (z = 0.047). 1 will also outline the construction of the second MAGIC Telescope, to start with data taking in 2007.
