Shahrazad (Enceladus)

Heroine who tells King Shahryar "The Tales of a Thousand Nights".

Shahrazad is a large crater on Saturn's moon Enceladus first discovered by the Voyager spacecraft. Voyager images revealed very little about this crater, however, higher resolution views taken by the Cassini Spacecraft during a close flyby on March 9, 2005 reveal significant north-south fracturing that runs through all three craters of the triplet. Deep canyons mark the northern and eastern portions '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.
