Step 2. Open a new document and make the background black. Now drag your
space image into the document, it should appear in a new layer.

Your image should now look like this:

Step 4. Duplicate that layer that you just made your radial blur on and set
it to
Screen, Opacity 60%. This will just make the light effect
more intense. Your image should now look like this
:Step 5. Now to add some more colour streaks and highlights to our work. To do
this first add a new layer. Take a smallish hard brush and just scibble in
different colours like i have below. I chose these colours but you can use
anything you like.

Angle 90 degrees, Amount 484 .

Step 7. Take your blurred scribble and go
Edit - Transform - Free
Transform and rotate it to your liking and place it so it looks like
more streams of light are coming out of the center. Set it to either
Screen or Softlight , whichever looks best for you. Here is
mine:

Step 8. Repeat step 7 but make your highlights different sizes and colours
and try a few different blending modes. Basically just play around until you
come up with something you like. Here is mine with a few more light streams
added.
