Zach
est un cratère de 71 Km et profond de 3700 m situé dans le secteur hautement
cratérisé du limbe lunaire australe. Au nord on trouve le cratère, à piton
central, Lilius (61 Km), au Nord-est Jacobi (68 Km) avec ses craterlets sur
le plancher du cratère. Les murs intérieurs de Zach sont en terrasse. Les
murs externes sont encadrés par des cratères qui forment un carré. Le fond
est relativement plat avec quelques craterlets, dont un couple au centre et
une double crête centrale excentrée au nord.

Zach
is a lunar impact crater located in the heavily-cratered southern sector of
the moon. To the north is Lilius crater, while to the southeast is Pentland
and to the south the larger Curtius crater. Due to foreshortening, the
crater has an oblong appearance when viewed from Earth.
The inner walls of the crater are prominently terraced, while parts of the
outer wall are indented by lesser craters. There are adjacent craters
attached to the northeast, southwest, and southern parts of the rim. There
is also a pair of overlapping craters on the northwest rim. The bottom is
relatively flat with a few craterlets and a double central peak offset to
the north.
