action

A senior astronomer teaches his students about the impending solar eclipse . They show him little respect and stain his coat with chalk. One of the assistants also sleeps during class. A little later, the time has come, the female ( French la lune ) moon moves in front of the male sun (French le soleil ). The two spend a short and passionate time together until they separate again.

After the title card "The Wandering Stars" is shown, the stars and planets travel through the night sky. One scene shows the moon rocking on the moon's sickle together with Mercury and Saturn .

The next title card of the film is An unexpect Bath , with some meteorites falling to earth. The astronomer falls out of the window into a rain barrel in sheer euphoria . A little later he is pulled out of this by his assistants and mocked by his students. During this bath in the barrel, the astronomer caught a cold and passed out after a prank by his students.
