51L-S-127 (31 Jan. 1986) — A wide angle lens was used to capture only a portion of the crowd gathered for memorial services for the seven members of the STS 51-L Challenger crew at the Johnson Space Center. President Ronald Reagan speaks at the lectern at far left edge of the frame. The photographer for the picture was positioned on a large platform erected to accommodate the many members of the news media on hand for the event.
