Dalilah (crater)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dalilah is a crater in the northern hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Dalilah was first discovered in Voyager 2 images but was seen at much higher resolution by Cassini. It is located at 52.9° North Latitude, 246.4° West Longitude and is 14 kilometers across. Fractures have deformed the south-eastern side of Dalilah as well as the dome at the center of the crater. This effect of tectonic deformation of dome formed through viscous relaxation is also seen on a slightly larger scale at Dunyazad crater.

Dalilah is named after a character from Arabian Nights, a crafty old crone who fools several men.
