51F-31-006 (29 July -- 6 Aug. 1985) --- An oblique view of the sun rising over Earth during late July of 1985, as photographed from the Earth orbiting Challenger. The sun reflects off Indian Ocean waters near the intersection with the Tasman Sea. A handheld Hasselblad camera was aimed through overhead windows in the tail-to-Earth-oriented spacecraft to expose the image.
