Why is saturn called the black star?

Question

like i found somewhere in the internet that some of the names the call saturn is the black star. why is that?

Answer 1

Nothing in science has ever referred to Saturn as being the black star.

Could be some New Age thing or some other belief system.

Answer 2

i never heared that and saturn isnt a star or black.

Answer 3

well it could be the fact that it looks alot like a dwarf star, it would be dark 'cause of the fact that nuclear fusion can't occur at the finite mass that saturn has

Answer 4

I've never run across that term for Saturn, or any other planet for that matter.  Paul Theroux wrote a book about Africa called "Dark Star Safari".  Great Read!!!  Of course Africa isn't Saturn, but it does have a lot of blacks. And a lot of stars have done concerts for African relief.  Sorry, but this is the best I can offer.
