Cepheus is a lunar impact crater that is located in the northeastern part of the Moon within one crater diameter of the larger crater Franklin to the southeast. To the north-north-east is the flooded crater Oersted. The proximity of this formation to the lunar limb means it appears oblong when viewed from the Earth due to foreshortening.This is a relatively young formation and the rim is still sharp and well-defined.
