- Sacrobosco was also captured on several frames made by the southward looking mapping/metric Fairchild camera of Apollo 16, such as frame AS16-M-0699, which shows Sacrobosco near the central part of the depicted curved horizon.

(IAU Directions) SACROBOSCO.--This is one of those extremely abnormal formations which are almost peculiar to certain regions in the fourth quadrant. It is about 50 miles in greatest diameter, and is enclosed by a rampart of unequal height, rising on the W. to 12,000 feet above the floor, but sinking in places to a very moderate altitude. On the N. its contour is, if possible, rendered still more irregular by the intrusion of a smaller ring-plain. On the N.W. side of the floor stands a very bright little crater and two others on the S. of the centre, each with central mountains.
