• Tirawa (crater), a large impact basin on Saturn's moon Rhea

Tirawa basin is a large impact crater on Saturn's moon Rhea, at . It was glimpsed by Voyager 1 during its flyby of the moon and later photographed in greater detail by the Cassini orbiter.

Tirawa is deep in places, as measured in NASA Voyager images, and is across.
