Astral risks face every alien around (7)

I believe the answer is:

stellar

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

'astral' is the definition.
(I know that astral can be written as stellar)

'risks face every alien around' is the wordplay.
'face' suggests taking the first letters.
'every' becomes 'all' (similar in meaning).
'alien' becomes 'ets' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'around' says the letters should be written in reverse.
The initial letter of 'risks' is 'r'.
'r'+'all'+'ets'='rallets'
'rallets' reversed gives 'STELLAR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stellar that I've seen before include "Outstanding -- star-like" , "celebrity" , "Excellent - shining bright?" , "boss!" , "Top-notch" .)
