Space dust would not take that formation. If it were space dust then it would have been dispersed more unevenly. It looks like a planet, not a dust cloud.

That land even has shadows and glows with the light of the left over energy from the bomb. Dust would be sparse and transparent, especially if a blast that disintegrates rock is detonated.
The argument that it is dust and debris is baseless and is proved false by the screenshot. |
A lone screenshot like that doesn't say crap. You could say whatever the hell you wanted about any screen shot (maybe sans title screens).
No fully developed planet would look like a mushroom, especially not one made of rock (unless it got pelted by a helluva lot of meteors, but what are the chances of that happening in the seconds between the screen going white and when it shows the ball of dust?). A planet just starting its formation, maybe. But even a fully developed gas planet is spherical (not a perfect sphere, though. They bulge a little at the equator). Hell, stars are spherical. The only things I can think off that could possibly be nonspherical are meteors, which I don't want to hear about Zebes becoming.
In fact, if you look closely (or turn up the light on your monitor), you'll notice a very dark and very awkwardly shaped layer of dust just outside that dark purple layer you can easily see. You were saying something about barely visible dust?
Stuff glows when it gets really hot. Put a wire in a Bunsen burner and it glows red (the reason stuff glows is related to electrons, but I'm not going there). That's why stars glow. They're intensely hot balls of gas (actually, I think they're so hot, they're not even gas anymore, but the fourth phase of matter, plasma).
Now, you could argue about Zebes being reborn. After it gets blown into dust, it's all coming back together, getting ultra hot, being spun around, and starting the multi-million year cycle of becoming a new planet, but it didn't just magically become a new planet in a couple of seconds. Besides, it happens all the time. Most of the time a star explodes and becomes a nebula, which becomes a new star. Only the really enormous stars becomes black holes, and that's because of how much gravity they have (I forget the details, but when a supernova occurs, only the outside explodes instead of the entire star, while the inside implodes and becomes a black hole).
Samus ain't gonna be around in the millions of years it takes Zebes to be fully reborn. And anyone who pulls "cryogenic hibernation" or "cloning" out of their ass is getting a face hugger lobbed in their direction.
