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

'sky viewer may' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'this celebrity after making film' is the wordplay.
'this celebrity' becomes 'star' (a star is a celebrity or famous person).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'making film' becomes 'shooting' (I've seen this before).
'star' after 'shooting' is 'SHOOTING STAR'.

'see' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shooting star that I've seen before include "Top toxophilite" , "like a rocket?" , "on which you'd make a wish?" , "Annie Oakley, for example" , "Bright meteor" .)
