Eponym Leopoldo Nobili

Nobili is a lunar crater that lies near the eastern limb of the Moon, giving it a foreshortened appearance when viewed from the Earth. The crater overlays the western rim of the slightly larger 'Schubert X' crater, and the eastern rim of this satellite crater is overlaid by Jenkins crater, resulting in a triple crater formation. To the south lies Gilbert crater.

Nobili is a circular crater formation with a worn rim. A small crater, 'Gilbert P', intrudes into the southwestern rim, and there is a small break in the northeastern rim. The interior floor is nearly featureless.

This crater was previously designated 'Schubert Y', before being given its current name by the IAU.
