Toscanelli is a tiny, bowl-shaped Lunar Crater that is located to the north of the prominent Aristarchus Crater , 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 Kilometer s.
