scheherazade: Enceladus, photographed by Voyager 2, 26th August 1981. I believe the double craters at right-hand side of the lunar disc are Ali Baba (above) and Aladdin (below) at 60°N 20°W, if you can believe it. Features on Enceladus are named for people and places in One Thousand And One Nights. (There is a crater named for the heroine Scheherazade, although it is rendered “Shahrazad” by the IAU.)
