Are there any photographic examples of main sequence stars, 1 solar mass or higher, being torn open and exposing the core or even tearing the core open? I guess even one being blasted by unimaginable stellar winds would count as well.

Kind of hard to imagine anywhere where this would happen where we could see it. At least in the visible spectrum.

(Sorry, I feel like having my mind boggled today.)
