Fifth Trumpet: The Locusts from the Bottomless Pit
1 Then the fifth angel sounded: aAnd I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to bthe bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the asun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.
3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, aas the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 They were commanded anot to harm bthe grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have cthe seal of God on their foreheads.

That very clearly identifies the symbolism of an angel and a star. The star is a symbol for an angel.
We have there a star falling from heaven and that star identified, generally in symbolism in chapter 1, as being an angel. That angel then opens the bottomless pit.
