Flammarion is an impact crater in the Syrtis Major quadrangle on Mars at 25.2 ° N and 48.3 ° E. It is 173.0 km in diameter. Its name was approved in 1973, and refers to French astronomer Camille Flammarion.[1] There may have been a lake in the crater in the past because a channel is present on the northern rim, and sedimentary layers are present within the crater.
