Group surrounding a star (5)

I believe the answer is:

posse

'group surrounding a star' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for posse that I've seen before include "Group of sheriff's men" , "Group formed by sheriff" , "power" , "Band of people involved in some activity" , "Law-enforcers" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
