Samad (crater)

Samad (crater)

Samad is a crater in the northern hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Samad was first discovered in "Voyager 2" images. It is located at 62.3° North Latitude, 355.1° West Longitude and is 16 kilometers across. 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 named after a Shayk who guides Musa and Talib to the mountains in the tale "The City of Brass" from Arabian Nights.
