Khusrau (Enceladus)

King, husband of Shirin in the tale "Khusrau and Shirin and the Fisherman"

Khusrau is an impact crater on the anti-Saturn hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Khusrau was first observed in Cassini images during that mission's March 2005 flyby of Enceladus. Since the crater's formation, numerous criss-crossing fractures cut across the crater, forming canyons several hundred meters deep along the crater's rim. (wikipedia entry)

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On Enceladus they are named after people and places from Burton's Arabian Nights.
