Samad (Enceladus)

Named after the Shayk who guides Musa and Talib to the mountains in "The City of Brass".

Samad is a crater in the northern hemisphere of Saturn's geologically active moon Enceladus. Currently available images are too low in resolution to determine if this crater has been tectonically deformed, but the lack of a prominent central dome suggests Samad has not undergone the level of viscous relaxation of other craters in its size range, like Dalilah or Ahmad. Samad is located near the larger craters Aladdin and Ali Baba. (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.
