Shahryar is a Crater in the northern hemisphere of Saturn 's moon Enceladus . Shahryar was first seen in '' Voyager 2 '' images, but was seen at much higher resolution by the ''Cassini'' Spacecraft . It is located at 59.7° North Latitude , 225.0° West Longitude and is 21 Kilometer s across. Despite being nearly the same size as the nearby Sindbad crater, Shahryar does not exhibit a dome-like structure on its floor, suggesting it has not undergone significant viscous relaxation. In addition, there is very little evidence that it has experienced tectonic deformation, suggesting that Shahryar is a relatively young crater. Shahryar is named after the king in from Arabian Nights , who is told tales by Shahrazad to dissuade him from continuing to kill women. |
