Zumurrud (Enceladus)

Female character in the tale "Ali Shar and Zumurrud"

Zumurrud is a large impact crater on the anti-Saturn hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Images taken by Cassini during its March and July 2005 flybys of Enceladus revealed a great deal about the geology of this impact crater. Since formation, Zumurrud has been modified by viscous relaxation tectonic fracturing along the crater's rim, forming canyons hundreds of meters deep, and subsequent cratering, like the small crater along Zumurrud's western 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.
