Known as the Praxis Effect amongst movie nerds or, in the Homestar Runner universe, "those blast-wavey Saturn rings that have become so popular lately."

Hell, in Star Trek VI, where the Praxis Effect originates, it's a horrifying industrial accident that blows up Praxis, so for all we know there might well have been some kind of moon-sized particle accelerator that blew up and did cause that ring shape. But it seems to show up in a lot of places where there's not as justifiable an excuse.
