Meet the Flammarions
Caution: this post might contain real world information!
- Nicolas Camille Flammarion (February 26, 1842 – June 3, 1925) was a French astronomer and author. He was usually credited as Camille Flammarion.
- The woman behind the great man: his second wife, Gabrielle Renaudot-Flammarion (1876 –October 31, 1962) was also an astronomer. She worked at the observatory at Juvisy-sur-Orge, France, and was General Secretary of the Société Astronomique de France.
- Camille's brother, Ernest Flammarion (1846-1936) founder of the Flammarion publishing house.
More about them, but in French: Camille, Ernest and the group... Gabrielle isn't worth an entry on the French Wikipedia!
