Tacchini (Crater)Tacchini is a lunar crater on the northwestern edge of the Mare Smythii, near the eastern limb of the Moon. It lies just to the south of the prominent Neper crater, and was designated 'Neper K' before being given its current name by the IAU. To the west-southwest of Tacchini is the Schubert-Back crater pair. This crater is roughly circular in form, with a rim that is better defined along the eastern side. The northwestern half of the floor is elevated, along the side where ejecta from the younger Neper crater intrudes into the interior. There are a pair of small craters along the northwestern inner wall.
