[Avodah] sun and moon

[Lampel]

>  The Rambam doesn't actually say the moon has an intellect.
> RZS: Yes, he does.  Explicitly.*All*  the stars*and*  spheres are intelligent,

RZSero is correct: Hilchos Y'sodei HaTorah 3:9:

"All the stars and the spheres are baalei nefesh v'deah v'haskel, and 
they are living beings, and stand and recognize Mi Sheh-amar V'haya 
HaOlom. Each one,  in accordance with its greatness and level, laud and 
praise the One Who formed them, just as the angels do...and the daas of 
the kochavim and the galgalim is less than the daas of the melachim, but 
greater than the daas of bnei adam."

It should be noted that although the Rambam found scriptural support for 
this from "The heavens proclaim the Almi-ty's glory," Rav Saadia Gaon 
before him dismissed such a literal understanding of this verse (Emumos 
V'Dei'os 2:10).
