Lucian is a tiny lunar impact crater that is located in the northeastern part of the Mare Tranquillitatis. 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 before being named by the IAU.This is a circular cone-shaped formation with a negligible interior floor. It has not been significantly degraded by impact erosion.
