The Janssen Medal is an astrophysics award presented by the French Academy of Sciences to those who have made advances in this area of science. Created in 1886 it is not always awarded every year. It is distinct from the Prix Jules Janssen (created in 1897), an annual award presented by the French Astronomical Society. Both awards are named for the French astronomer Pierre Janssen (1824-1907) (better known as Jules Janssen).
