- Although there's nothing in the LPI's search list for orbital Apollo photographs of Whewell and nearby craters Cayley and De Morgan, these craters were captured on several frames of Apollo 16's north-looking metric/mapping Fairchild camera, such as frame AS16-M-0831. In this frame, Whewell and its surrounding craters are visible near the central part of the curved horizon.
