- Detailed close-ups of Esclangon were made during the mission of Apollo 17, on orbital panoramic ITEK camera frames AS17-P-2279 and AS17-P-2284. Scroll to the right, beyond both of the frames's centres, to see Esclangon and the many craterlets on its floor.
- The weird shape of Esclangon was also captured in the very centre of Apollo 17's northward looking mapping/metric Fairchild camera frame AS15-M-0931.
- Apollo 15's AS15-M-0384 shows a vertical view of Esclangon.

Bibliography
Esclangon is mentioned in the footnotes on page 229 of T.W.Webb's Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes (Volume 1: The Solar System), in the chapter COMETS, because he (Esclangon) once observed the occultation of a 10.5 magnitude star by comet Brooks (1911C.). - DannyCaes DannyCaes Jul 3, 2015
