Shooting stars (7)
I believe the answer is:
meteors
'shooting stars' is the definition.
('meteor' can be a synonym of 'shooting star')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for meteors that I've seen before include "Space fireballs" , "Shooting stars" .)
I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Irish Times, the Evening Standard, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph, The Star Tribune, The Mirror and the Penny Press.
