Following tabloid, see blemish on the face of a star (7)
I believe the answer is:
sunspot
'the face of a star' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'following tabloid see blemish' is the wordplay.
'following' says to put letters next to each other.
'tabloid' becomes 'Sun' (The Sun, UK newspaper).
'see blemish' becomes 'spot' (spot is a kind of blemish).
'sun' next to 'spot' is 'SUNSPOT'.
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sunspot that I've seen before include "holiday resort" , "Cool solar area" , "Solar cool patch" , "cause of magnetic storm" , "Dark cool patch on the surface of our nearest star" .)
