- AS16-M-0848, one of Apollo 16's Mapping Camera photographs of Flammarion and the area southwest of it (between Lalande and Palisa) is included in the book Full Moon by Michael Light and Andrew Chaikin (plate 27).
- Wonderful close ups of Flammarion's floor were made by Lunar Orbiter 3; see frames 116 (with Flammarion D and Mosting A), 117, 118, 119 (part of Flammarion's southeastern rim).
- Earlier close ups of Flammarion's floor were made by Lunar Orbiter 1; see frames 141, 142, 143, and 144.
- Two oblique east-looking Hasselblad photographs made during Apollo 12, which show Herschel (central) and Flammarion (near the lower left corners of both frames): AS12-50-7431 and AS12-50-7432.

Nomenclature
- Named for Camille Flammarion (1842-1925), a French astronomer.
- This name was was introduced on a lunar map published by Gaudibert and Fenet in 1887 (Whitaker, p. 150). The fine print at the top of Gaudibert's map (barely legible on p. 149 of Whitaker's book) appears to say that Gaudibert was working under the direction of Flammarion (whose name appears not only as a new feature name, but also in extra large letters near the top). Mary Blagg's Collated List (1913) indicates that this feature (catalog number 2950) was known to Neison as Herschel f , but was unnamed by her other two authorities. The IAU went with Gaudibert's suggestion in its original Named Lunar Formations (1935). - Jim Mosher
