The allusion to "Brother Sun" and "Sister Moon" is taken from the Canticle of the Sun that was composed by St. Francis in 1224.

I cannot watch the video due to another fucking Copyright issue, German youtube is very often such a Scheissdreck.

Anyway - in German the sun is female - "Die Sonne" - and the moon is male - "Der Mond" - which makes no sense because the moon has a female recepitve character. In French and other languages it is correct. "Le Soleil", "La Lune".

German is an extremely precise language, and therefore scientists like German. But in this case other languages are better.
