Rays in an image



Here's a photograph with visible "sun rays":

or (different link to the same)

Is someone able to say how exactly it is likely that those randomly
distributed radial artifacts are formed? Is it likely to form in the
foremost lens?

There seems to be also some chromatic aberration often related to this
phenomenon (as in this image too). How does that happen?

Thanks a lot.
