starburst
Light rays outward
A starburst is a pattern of lines or rays emanating from a central point, resembling an exploding star.
The shape appears in fireworks, camera lens flare, and graphic design: a starburst of light, a starburst pattern on the package.
In astronomy, a starburst is a region of intense star formation.
Starburst is also a brand of fruit-flavored candy.
