How do i hide and show a group ob gameobjects?
ive made this
public GameObject stars;
stars.active = false;
and all my game objects are grouped into stars, when i click to hide them, just stop the scripts(rotation etc.) but not hide the entire group.
is there another form to send the code to hide the entire content?

You can use GameObject.SetActiveRecursively(false)
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject.SetActiveRecursively.html
This sets a gameObject and all its children to activeor inactive.
so :
stars.SetActiveRecurisvely(false);
Should do the trick
EDIT: sorry the wording of your question makes it look like you wanted the above at first however after reading it over again I am thinking you might be wanting broadcast message
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject.BroadcastMessage.html
I've reread the question again and i think SetActiveRecurisvely is exactly what he wants ;).
Active is not the same as hiding. If you make an object inactive it wont respond to physics etc anymore. As important as this is, I dont think there is a way to do this in Unity without using culling masks etc which is extremely time consu$$anonymous$$g. It's quite pathetic.
