When Dr. Soran fires the rocket from the planet to destroy the Veridian star, in reality, even traveling at light-speed, it would take at least several minutes for the rocket to impact the star. For example, it takes light from our star - the Sun - 8 minutes to reach Earth (traveling at light-speed). In the movie, it only takes 11 seconds for the rocket to reach the star, as Worf calculated earlier in the movie. Evidently, the rocket had warp drive capability. It makes perfect sense, because a slow moving rocket would be vaporized by the star before it could reach the central core, where the reactions (which have to be inhibited) take place. Of course, it would still take at least several minutes before any effect is seen from the planet, because those effects travel at the speed of light (at most), but for all we know that's exactly what happened. Although only a few seconds of movie time pass between the launch and the implosion, the latter is in the next cut. The rocket's contrail is gone in the second cut, indicating that some time has passed between the cuts. And since Picard could do nothing after launch but standing helplessly, there would be no point in wasting movie time on this period.
