| has gloss | eng: Shirin is an impact crater located on the anti-Saturn hemisphere of Saturns moon Enceladus. Shirin was first observed in Cassini images during that missions March 2005 flyby of Enceladus. It is located at 1.6° South Latitude, 169.0° West Longitude, and is eight kilometers across. Cassini observed several, narrow, southwest-northeast trending fractures cutting across Shirin, forming canyons up to a hundred meters deep along the crater's rim. Several wider fractures are seen nearby, however these appeared to form before the Shirin impact since the crater appears to cover these fractures as they appear it. |
