Abstract. In 1907 the Romanian Astronomy had for the first time

two major events: the first popular astronomical journal “Orion” was issued and the first Astronomical Society was founded, achievements at which a major contribution Victor Anestin had. We present the steps of Romanian Astronomical Society “Flammarion” fondation, give its statutes and its members list, their activity being reflected in the “Orion” journal issues (from 1907-1912), which was for while its bulletin. We give also a brief description of the content of this journal of wide up-to-date information about the sidereal environment, being focused on popular astronomy. Victor Anestin, the editor en chief of the journal, was in touch with the amateur astronomers, through it giving them assistance with advices and publishing in it their results. We mention also that the society and the journal were very appreciated in the epoch.
