Rayya (Enceladus)

Female character in the tale "Otbah and Rayya"

Rayya is an impact crater on the southern hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Rayya was first observed in Cassini images during that mission's March 2005 flyby of Enceladus. Cassini observed numerous criss-crossing sets of fractures cutting across Rayya, 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.
