Nobile, traditionally abbreviated to Nob., is an Italian title of nobility ranking between that of knight and baron. As with some other titles of nobility, such as baron or count, nobile is also used immediately before the family name, usually in the abbreviated form Nob..
The word “nobile” is derived from the Latin “nobilis”, meaning honourable.
The heraldic coronet of a nobile is composed of a jewelled circlet of gold surmounted by five pearls, either on stems or set directly upon the rim. The armorial shield of a nobile is surmounted by a silver helm displayed in a ¾ side-view and surmounted by the coronet already described. A noble entitled to wear a coronet of noble status also customarily displays it above the shield in the full heraldic achievement associated with the particular title in question.
Nobile is a lunar crater that is located near the southern pole of the Moon. It lies to the south of the crater Scott, along the western rim of Amundsen. Between Nobile and the southern pole lie the smaller craters Shoemaker and Faustini.
This is an eroded crater formation that is almost constantly cloaked in deep shadows. When sunlight does enter the interior of this crater, it does so at a very oblique angle. The crater rim is overlaid by several lesser craters, the most notable being a formation about half the diameter of Nobile along the western rim. There are also small craters along the southwest and northern parts of the rim. The outer rampart of Amundsen overlies the eastern rim and inner wall. The interior floor of this crater is somewhat irregular, and there are a few small craterlets across the surface.
Nobile was previously designated Scott A before being assigned a name by the IAU.
Nobile, a Latin word meaning noble, may refer to:
- Nobile (aristocracy), the Italian equivalent of the landed gentry
- Nobile (crater), a crater on the moon
