Heavenly picture of spaces developed around Kentucky (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skyscape

'heavenly picture' is the definition.
(picture of the heavens)

'spaces developed around kentucky' is the wordplay.
'developed' is an anagram indicator.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'kentucky' becomes 'ky' (abbreviation).
'spaces' with letters rearranged gives 'sscape'.
'sscape' going around 'ky' is 'SKYSCAPE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Another definition for skyscape that I've seen is " Aerial view".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
