This is a trick picture, it is actually a lamp with a rotating bundle of glass fibres, below which a white light
shines through a rotating piece of multi-coloured plastic, hence the bundle changes colours (with brightly lit ends
of the fibres) as it rotates, creating a really cool effect. Out of various shots with different exposure times, I
selected this one as it resembles what I would expect a super nova to look like. The exposure time was short enough
to not show any movemement (mind you, all the dots actually rotate around the very centre of the 'explosion').

The title already says it all, I photographed a special lamp in such a way that it resembles an exploding star (in
the midst of a field of 'static' stars). The dots on the outskirts are supposed to represent the static stars,
whereas the central part represents what I think a star explosion would more or less look like (including the light
trails from the explosion).
