sunburst
Rays from center
A sunburst is a sudden bright gleaming of sunlight, especially when it breaks through clouds or appears dramatically at a particular moment.
The word also describes designs, patterns, or objects that radiate outward from a center point like rays of sun—a sunburst mirror, sunburst clock, or the sunburst pattern on certain guitar bodies.
A sunburst broke through the overcast sky just as the ceremony ended.
