Three decades ago, the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger was one of the biggest stories of the year. But that year also saw hearings in the Iran-Contra affair, the re-opening of the Statue of Liberty after a long renovation, the fall of President Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines, and the crash of Aeromexico Flight 498 above Los Angeles. Photographers were also busy documenting the lives of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Joan Jett, Spike Lee, Halle Berry, Mike Tyson, and many others. Take a step into a visual time capsule now, for a brief look at the year 1986.

Lieutenant-Colonel Oliver North, former aide to former National Security Adviser John Poindexter, is sworn in on December 9, 1986, before the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing in Washington, DC, on arms sales to Iran and diversion of profits to Nicaraguan Contra rebels. North, citing the Fifth Amendment, refused to answer questions although he pledged to “cooperate fully” with investigations at an unspecified date. The ‘Irangate’ saga erupted November 30 into a new crisis for the U.S. President Reagan administration with the resignation of Admiral John Poindexter as the President's National Security Advisor and the dismissal of North, a member of the National Security Council Staff. ‘Ollie’ North, a much-decorated Marine officer, known to White House cynics as the President's ‘Swashbuckler in Chief,’ was linked to the transfer of some $30 million profit from the Iran weapons sales to Contra rebels fighting the left-wing Sandinista government in Nicaragua.Chris Wilkins / AFP / Getty
