Crescent Enceladus
Caption NASA:"In the boundary between light and shadow on Enceladus, run the Anbar Fossae — a series of narrow, shallow depressions. 
Like other features on this geologically active moon, the fossae are named after a location in The Arabian Nights. In this case, they are named after Anbar, Iraq. 
Another Iraqi namesake, the Baghdad Sulcus, is one of several warm `Tiger Stripe' fractures at the moon's South Pole from which emanate heat and icy particles (see also PIA11114). 
North is up in this image, and Julnar is the largest crater visible in the Northern Hemisphere. One of the women in The Arabian Nights lends her name to this crater which is about 20 Km (about 12 miles) wide. 
Fewer craters mark the Southern Hemisphere because they have been erased by later tectonic forces. 

The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Dec. 17, 2008. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 385.000 Km (about 239.000 miles) from Enceladus and at a Phase Angle of 104°.
Image scale is roughly 2,5 Km (about 1,6 miles) per pixel".
