1176 Lucidor, provisional designation 1930 VE, is a main-belt asteroid discovered on November 15, 1930, by Eugène Joseph Delporte at the Royal Observatory of Belgium. On the same day, it was independently discovered by Max Wolf at Heidelberg Observatory and 15 days later by Grigory Neujmin at Simeiz Observatory in Crimea. The C-type asteroid measures about 31 kilometers in diameter.[1]
