Shuttle Columbia on STS-107 as seen from the ground
This image of the Space Shuttle Columbia in orbit during mission STS-107 was taken by the U.S. Air Force Maui Optical and Supercomputing Site (AMOS) on January 28, 2003, four days before Columbia's reentry, as the spacecraft flew above the island of Maui in the Hawaiian Islands. Note that the damage to the leading edge of the port (left side, right side of this picture) is not visible — at least in part due to the open payload bay doors.
