Saturnine


Saturnine is an adjective.
Meaning: gloomy, dark, sullen
Secondary meaning: of or relating to lead, symptomatic of lead poisoning.

Helpful hints: 
The saturnine planet, Saturn, must really feel gloomy. I certainly would with all those rings around my eyes. It appears quite dark which I guess is why everyone thought it was made of lead

Sixth planet from the sun. 
Second largest in the solar system.
Saturn has nine rings. 
It has 62 moons that orbit.
