Aladdin is a crater in the northern hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Aladdin was first discovered in Voyager 2 images. It is located at 60.7° North Latitude, 26.7° West Longitude and is 37.4 kilometers across.[1] It is located near the craters Ali Baba and Samad.[2] Aladdin has a large dome in its interior, suggesting the crater has undergone some viscous relaxation.
Aladdin is named after a hero from Arabian Nights who finds a magic lamp.
