NamingAl-Haddar; The barber's second brother in "The Hunchback’s Tale"

Al-Haddar is animpact crater onSaturn's moonEnceladus, first discovered by theVoyager spacecraft. It is named after Al-Haddar, one of the barber's six brothers in "The Hunchback's Tale" fromThe Book of One Thousand and One Nights.

Al-Haddar is located at 50.5° NorthLatitude, 200.6° WestLongitude and is approximately 14 kilometers across.[1] It is the northernmost and smallest crater of a prominent crater triplet on Enceladus' anti-Saturnian hemisphere.[2] There is no evidence that the impacts are related or were formed from the break-up of a single body, likeShoemaker-Levy 9.Voyager 2 observations of Al-Haddar revealed a bowl-shaped, simple crater, compared to its larger, more complex southern neighbors,Shahrazad andDunyazad craters. The crater was mostly in shadow during theCassini Spacecraft's close flyby on March 9, 2005, but numerous tectonic fractures were observed along its northern rim.[citation needed]
