Eponym Robert Luther

Luther is a small lunar impact crater on the northwest part of Mare Serenitatis, at the inlet to Lacus Somniorum. To the east-southeast is the large Posidonius crater. This crater has a circular rim and is cup-shaped, with no appreciable wear from impact erosion. It lies across a wrinkle ridge on the lunar mare.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Luther crater.
