Gilgamesh is a large multi-ring impact basin on Jupiter's largest moon Ganymede. The impact structure was observed in detail by the Voyager 2 and Galileo missions, enabling its characteristics to be studied in detail. With an estimated diameter of around 590 kilometres (370 mi), it is one of the largest known impact basins on Ganymede.
