yatters

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

'gas' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'star yet to explode' is the wordplay.
'to explode' indicates anagramming the letters.
'star'+'yet'='staryet'
'staryet' is an anagram of 'YATTERS'.

'releases' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
