camille flammarion

Camille Flammarion (February 26 1842 – June 3 1925) was a French astronomer. His full name is sometimes (rarely) given as Nicolas Camille Flammarion. He was a prolific author of more than fifty titles, including popular science works about astronomy. He also published the magazine L'Astronomie. He maintained a private observatory at Juvisy-sur-Orge, France. He was a founder and the first president of the Socit Astronomique de France. He was the first to suggest the names Triton and Amalthea for moons of Neptune and Jupiter, respectively, although these names were not officially adopted until many decades later. His second wife was Gabrielle Renaudot Flammarion. Flammarion crater on the Moon was named after him, as was Flammarion crater on Mars. The enigmatic "Flammarion Woodcut" first appeared in an 1888 Flammarion publication. Flammarion, Camille Flammarion, Camille Flammarion, Camille
