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 Penny Press, The Mirror, The Star Tribune, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Irish Times.
