Encylopedia
The Columbia Encyclopedia can be found at the top of the main page, right next to the dictionary.
On the main page of the Encyclopedia, you will find general information about it, a list of five of the top searches, and the "Find" box where you can type in your subject.
Here is the entry for the space shuttle Challenger. I first typed in "space shuttle challenger", but didn't get any hits. I broadened my search to just "Challenger", and got two hits, the Challenger Expedition, and this one.
Not very impressed with this encyclopedia based on this search.
They don't even list the names of the astronauts who lost their lives. If you search the subject heading "CHALLENGER (Spacecraft) Disaster, 1986" on the main page, limit it to full text magazine articles and the years 1986-1990, you will come up with 28 hits.
