Maraldi is a worn, eroded crater on the western edge of the Sinus Amoris, in the northeast part of the Moon. To the west-southwest is the crater Vitruvius, and to the northwest lies the worn Littrow. Just to the northeast of the crater is the dome-like Mons Maraldi rise.
Maraldi has a very worn outer wall that is deeply incised and has the appearance of a circular range of peaks rather than a crater rim. The interior has been flooded with basaltic lava, leaving a flat surface with a low albedo. There is a low ridge just to the northwest of the midpoint, and several tiny craters mark the floor surface.
Maraldi may refer to:
- Maraldi (lunar crater)
- Maraldi (Martian crater)
- Mons Maraldi, a mountain on the Moon
Maraldi Crater is an impact crater in the Argyre quadrangle on Mars at 62.2°S and 32.0°W and is 124.0 km in diameter. Its name was approved in 1973 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN), and it was named after Giacomo F. Maraldi.
