Toscanelli is a tiny, bowl-shaped lunar crater that is located to the north of the prominent crater Aristarchus, in the northwestern part of the Moon. The crater lies at the southern end of a rille that proceeds toward the north. This rille is part of a nearby system that has the designation "Rimae Aristarchus". Just to the south of Toscanelli is a fault line in the surface named the "Rupes Toscanelli", after the crater. This break in the surface continues to the south for a distance of about 70 kilometers.
