Description
MAGIC is the largest Cherenkov telescope currently operating and is in full operation since September 2004. Since then, it is providing a full wealth of exciting new physics results from its observations in the VHE region of galactic and extragalactic locations. Among the main results that will be presented, the discoveries of new sources and even of entire new classes of sources and the observation of fast variability down to an unprecedented level of precision. Recent results for distant extragalactic sources are also shown: observations that are important for the development of new models of extragalactic background and to evaluate the systematic uncertainties of the imaging Cherenkov technique.
