Additional Information
- IAU page: Toscanelli
- Depth data from [/Kurt%20Fisher%20crater%20depths Kurt Fisher database]
- Westfall, 2000: 1.3 km
- Toscanelli is listed as a control point in the 1994 and 2005 [/ULCN#ULCN_1994 ULCN] where its coordinates are given as Lat: 27.930°N, Long: 47.612°W. Coordinates of Lat: 27.94°N, Long: 47.62°W, Diam: 7.0 km were adopted for use in the IAU Planetary Gazetteer on June 12, 2008. The old position listed there was 0.5° to the south. Toscanelli is one of the first craters for which an attempt has been made to give a selenodetically correct position in the gazetteer (as opposed to one just adequate for identification). The IAU coordinates were subsequently adjusted slightly to conform to the [/LOLA LOLA] system. - JimMosher JimMosher
