[1] Geology Station 2 is adjacent to Spook, between it and the smaller, younger crater called Buster to the north of it.
The astronauts John Young and Charles Duke explored the area over the course of three EVAs using a Lunar Roving Vehicle, or rover.
They stopped at Spook during EVA 1, on the way back to the LM from Flag crater.
The small, fresh crater called Buster is north of Spook.
The Lunar Portable Magnetometer (LPM) was used to obtain a reading of approximately 180 γ (gamma) at Spook.
