Giant collection of stars (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orion

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'giant' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'collection of stars' is the second definition.
'orion' can be an answer for 'stars' (Orion is a constellation). I am unsure of the 'collection of' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orion that I've seen before include "Hunter slain by Artemis" , "Constellation with seven bright stars" , "Mythical Greek hunter turned into constellation" , "Constellation that includes Betelgeuse" , "A giant hunter in Greek legend, and a constellation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
