The shadowy, closely-analyzed photo of Space Shuttle Columbia's underside -- taken during its ill-fated descent last week -- was not snapped with cutting-edge military equipment, but by three researchers , according to a CNN article. Reports last week indicated that the photo was snapped by one of Starfire's powerful telescopes, which are designed to spy on enemy satellites and detect incoming missiles.
