Lucian is a tiny lunar impact crater that is located in the northeastern part of the Mare Tranquillitatis. It was named after 2nd century Greek writer Lucian of Samosata.[1] The nearest named craters are Lyell to the east-southeast, Theophrastus to the northeast and Gardner to the north-northeast. A little farther to the north is Maraldi crater. Lucian was previously designated Maraldi B.
This is a circular, cone-shaped formation with a negligible interior floor. It has not been significantly degraded by impact erosion.
