Enjoy! ;)
Before anyone asks: this is not happening in 2012. Relax.
Dear me... the expand ring of debrises...
THERE IS NO F$%%£$%ING RING OF DEBRISES IN A SPHERICAL EXPLOSION IN SPACE!!!!!
...what you get, when thing have gone far enough, like in Abell 39 http://www.wolaver.org/Space/abell39nebula.htm (http://www.wolaver.org/Space/abell39nebula.htm) nebula, is that you are looking at a very thin spherical shell of matter which LOOKS denser on the border... just because you are looking thru MORE matter (due to the geometry of the thing).
Probably this stuff started with Star Wars Alderaan destruction footage so, PLEASE, somebody would be so kind to summarily execute in a most painful and degrading way Mr. Lucas? Thanks.

1. It was my decision to add a shock wave to my animation. It's an artistic choice. I know it's not scientifically accurate.
2. NO.

i always thought those F$%%£$%ing Debris rings were wrong too, never looked right to me.
There is a situation in which you can see rings, but requires a very specific scenario.
You start with a binary star system, in which the primary is big enough to go supernova. At a certain time, the primary emits clouds of gases. These clouds are shaped into a thin disk by the gravitational effect of the secondary. This emission ends before the explosion of the primary and the disc becomes a ring of expanding gas. One day, the primary goes boom. A roughly spherical shell of remnants expands at tremendous speed, much higher than the speed with which the previous disc is expanding, so at a certain moment, usually about a decade after the explosion, the supernova shell blasts into the ring and makes it shine... and you have things like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN_1987A (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN_1987A) SN 1987a.
P.S.: add Jar Jar Binks to the reasons for a necktie party....
