Very bright star (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nova

'very bright star' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for nova that I've seen before include "Star briefly brightening" , "Star that suddenly increases in brightness" , "Exploding star" , "Star that becomes much brighter for short time" , "Star showing a sudden, brief increase in luminosity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
