The shift of the P263 crew has finished! This month our shifters had a lot of fun while making music in the Counting House, visiting the Swedish Solar Telescope and the Gran Telescopio Canarias. Thank you, for your hard work!

We decided to show our beautiful mirrors, viewed from this particular angulation, as our #MAGICphotoofthemonth ! What do you think, would you want one of these mirrors over your sink?

Breaking news! The weather in #lapalma can change suddenly and in unpredictable ways, we all know this. But a couple of weeks ago something happened, something no one could expect. We received this email from #MAGIC shifters, and we thought the world should know about this.

April is here! We have contacted the famous Madame Loporchieaux and the tarot expert Marina Mangahnarish and they prepared a horoscope for us.
If you haven’t downloaded and printed our calendar, here are the April pages! Pic credit: Simon Manger.

A new #runbooksong is out! Can you guess the song the shifters were listening to while writing these lyrics? Wait for next week to find out more!

The shift of the P262 crew has finished! Thank you for data-taking every night! The crew enjoyed their free time while visiting natural pools and having meals with LST-1 shifters! Together they visited other telescopes, such as the TNG.

Meet our local crew at La Palma! Victor Acciari, Eduardo Colombo, Carla Wengel, and Irene Burelli (LTR), play a vital role in inspecting, fixing, and improving our telescopes and supporting the shifters during data-taking. We are incredibly grateful for their efforts!

MAGIC art! This beautiful scene of the Roque de los Muchachos observatory was drawn by our MAGICian Marine Pihet while she was on shift in February. Which telescopes do you see? Can you maybe even spot MAGIC?

Congratulations Angela! Two weeks ago, Angela Bautista defended her Master’s Thesis titled “Automation of an auxiliary 5-inch optical telescope to calibrate atmospheric transmission during MAGIC very large zenith angle observations”

This week the spring meeting of the German Physical Society took place KIT Karlsruhe, Germany. MAGICians from Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg, TU Dortmund and Max Planck Society attended and reported on the current status of MAGIC’s hardware and scientific results.
