The year 2025 marks the 150th anniversary of Victor Anestin’s birth and the 100th anniversary of Camille Flammarion’s death. The former is known as a remarkable journalist, translator, science fiction writer, and a prolific popularizer of science in general and astronomy in particular. The latter resembles him in many ways: self-taught, he wrote more than 50 books, many of them science fiction. Both organized an astronomy society and published magazines to popularize it. They communicated often with each other, especially during Flammarion’s visit to Romania. All these reasons, and many others, justify considering Anestin a Flammarion of the Romanians.
Keywords: Victor Anestin; Camille Flammarion; astronomy; SF
