- Frame 50, made by Zond 8, shows Bok rightward of the frame's central cross (Bok is the crater with the pronounced central peak).
- Wonderful oblique south-looking STEREO pairs of Bok and its pronounced central peak were made with Apollo 17's orbital ITEK-panoramic camera. These pairs are:
AS17-P-1636 / AS17-P-1641 (the eastern part of Bok).
AS17-P-1638 / AS17-P-1643 (the western part of Bok).
In all four ITEK frames, Bok is the pronounced crater near the left margin.
- Sunset terminator at Bok with its sunlit central peak:
Apollo 17's orbital mapping/metric Fairchild-camera frame AS17-M-0330.

- The name Bok was used on NASA's LM-104 (September 1978).
- The name was "approved as assigned" in IAU Transactions XVIIB (1979).
- There does not seem to be any record in the IAU Transactions of Bart Bok having been added as a second honoree although he is listed as such in the on-line IAU Planetary Gazetteer. - JimMosher

Bart J. Bok's observation of a peculiar phenomenon above Mount Stromlo Observatory
On the 29th of may 1963, astronomer Bart Bok and several colleagues observed a peculiar phenomenon above the Australian Mount Stromlo Observatory. It appeared at 18:58 in the sky and looked like a glowing orange-red globe, crossing the sky from west to east above the observatory. Bart Bok: This wasn't a meteor or artificial satellite.
(source: one of the very interesting books by Dutch author Hans van Kampen, unfortunately it is called 40 jaar UFO's) (1987, De Kern).
