Musa (crater)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Musa is a crater in the northern hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Musa was first seen in Voyager 2 images. It is located at 73.8° North Latitude, 6.5° West Longitude and is 22 kilometers across. A large, dome-like structure occupies the interior of the crater, suggesting the crater has undergone significant viscous relaxation. From Voyager 2 images, it also appears that Musa is superimposed on an older crater that formed just to the south.
Musa is named after a character from Arabian Nights. He goes to get the vessels that contain Jinni in "The City of Brass".
