Today marks a solemn anniversary for the space community. On Jan. 28, 1986, seven astronauts were killed when the Challenger space shuttle exploded shortly after launch. Just 73 seconds into the flight, the space shuttle exploded in midair, breaking apart. 💔 https://bit.ly/3KVykIu | ABC7

What’s the white dome on top of Oat Mountain? It’s the KABC-TV Doppler 7000 weather radar, watching storms move across Los Angeles from one of the highest points in the area. Long before it tracked rain, this exact peak had a very different job. During the Cold War, Oat Mountain was the Radar Control Area for Nike Missile Site LA-88. Radar here once scanned the sky for incoming aircraft and guided interceptor missiles stationed miles away as part of the air defense system protecting Los Angeles.
