Part of the destroyed space shuttle Challenger has been found on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, NASA announced Thursday. The buried part is believed to be from the shuttle’s belly.
"[T]his tragedy will forever be seared in the collective memory of our country," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said. "This discovery gives us an opportunity to pause once again, to uplift the legacies of the seven pioneers we lost, and to reflect on how this tragedy changed us."

NASA manager Michael Ciannilli said it’s one of the biggest pieces of Challenger found since the accident on Jan. 28, 1986, and the first remnant to be discovered since two fragments from the left wing washed ashore in 1996.
