Description
Description: Elger
([/IAU%20Directions IAU Directions]) ZUCHIUS.--Is situated on the S.W. of [/Segner Segner], which it slightly overlaps. It is very similar in size and general character, and has a lofty terraced wall, rising at one place on the E. to nearly 11,000 feet above the floor. A very fine chain of craters, well seen when the opposite border is on the morning terminator, runs round the outer E. slope of the wall. There is a bright crater beyond this on the S.E. Zuchius has a central peak.

Nomenclature
- Named for Niccolo Zucchi (December 6, 1586 - May 21, 1670), a Italian Jesuit astronomer, mathematician and physicist. In 1616, he designed one of the earliest reflecting telescopes. A professor at the Collegio Romano, Zucchi developed an interest in astronomy from a meeting with Johannes Kepler. He invented the concave reflecting telescope, and on May 17, 1630 was the first person to discover two belts on the surface of Jupiter. Zucchi also examined the spots on Mars (1640). His book Optica philosophia experimentalis et ratione a fundamentis constituta (1652–56) inspired James Gregory and Isaac Newton to build improved telescopes.
- According to [/Whitaker Whitaker] (p. 215), this was one of the original names from [/Riccioli Riccioli]'s map, where it was listed as Zucchius Soc. I (the "Soc. I" standing for "Society of Jesus" -- see the list of [/Nomenclature-Jesuits Jesuit astronomers]).
