Star that gets very bright (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nova

(Other definitions for nova that I've seen before include "Sudden light increase" , "Exploding star" , "A new flaring star" , "Faint star that suddenly flares into brightness and then fades again" , "Kind of star" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
