- Although there seem to be no orbital Apollo photographs in the LPI's list for Cook, there are several of Apollo 16's south looking Fairchild-camera frames which show the dark floor of that crater! One of those frames is AS16-M-0676, which shows Cook near the central part of the curved horizon. In this frame, Cook is the crater with the small bright bowl-shaped craterlet on its floor.
