          That's amazing, what a coincidence. That picture is very close to the images I see as soon as I open my eyes in the morning. It also looks like what happened the last time I accidentally microwaved aluminum foil.

              THAT is where I have seen that before. I have microwaved my wifes fine china coffee cups - that have silver rings around them - creating the "ring of fire." I don't use them anymore!

                      When my family first got our our first microwave in the early 80's, my mother was firmly convinced that ANY metal in the microwave at all would set off cataclysmic event that would destroy us all, so of course as soon as my parents both left the house...

                          I know that star exploded, but there appears to be a bust or standing cloaked figure in the center. Kinda eerie if it's untouched.

                                  That "bust" is what's left of the actual star that went supernova (and, I assume, anything else that was close!).
