Those seen as a striking consequence? (5)
I believe the answer is:
stars
I'm afraid I can't explain this answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stars that I've seen before include "Horoscope (colloq.)" , "Leading actors" , "Leading performers (with stripes?)" , "Celestial bodies of hot gases" , "''What is the ...? What is the ...? '' (Juno and the Paycock)" .)
