Space vehicle, coming from star, disappears (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tardis

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

'space vehicle coming' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'from star disappears' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TARDIS' can be found hidden inside 'star disappears'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tardis that I've seen before include "Time-travelling box" , "Doctor Who's ship" , "Famous time machine" , "Doctor Who's time machine" , "Doctor Who's transport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
