- Warning: on the LPI's red labeled scan of Lunar Orbiter image II-034-M, the name Zernike is misprinted at the position of Spencer Jones W, northwest of Spencer Jones itself.
- Warning: Apollo 13's frames AS13-62-8915 to 8923 don't show Spencer Jones because at that time it (that crater) was already in the nocturnal part of the local sunset terminator.
