What about stars in general, are they gender neutral, or do you give them the gender of whom they were named after if that was a person (mythical or real). What about non-humanoid things, as in Canopus, which is probably named after the ancient Egyptian city of Canopus. We do give gender to our cities as a rule, they tend to be females
