Shirin is an impact crater located on the anti-Saturn hemisphere of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Shirin was first observed in Cassini images during that mission’s March 2005 flyby of Enceladus. It is located at 1.9° South Latitude 172.4° West Longitude and is 8.7 kilometers across. Cassini observed several narrow southwest-northeast trending fractures cutting across Shirin forming canyons up to a hundred metres deep along the crater’s rim.
