Al-Bakbuk (Enceladus)

The barber's first brother in "The Hunchback’s Tale"

Al-Bakbuk is an impact crater in the northern hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Al-Bakbuk was first observed in Cassini images during that mission's March 2005 flyby of Enceladus. Since the crater's formation, numerous north-south trending 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.
