It seems like you can detect any magic nearby, but you can only see auras on visible articles.
A75 Yes.

Detect magic detects the "presence of magic within 30 feet of you" which includes a creature under the invisibility spell. However, "you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears magic" since it is not visible you can't detect an aura around it. (Emphasis mine)
