starburst pattern

Rays from center

A starburst pattern radiates outward from a central point like rays from a star.

The term appears across domains: in graphic design for attention-grabbing sale badges, in astronomy for galaxies with intense central star formation, in ophthalmology for how lights appear to people with astigmatism, and in ballistics for gunshot residue patterns.

The firework exploded in a perfect starburst pattern.
