As Andy said, it's the universal selector.

I'd be careful with it, as the rule will most likely cascade down.  Simple
example:

<div class="content">
  <p><strong>Note:</strong> be careful with the universal selector!</p>
</div>

You may find that the "strong" note gets the margin applied twice.  It gets
worse as you nest deeper (try putting an unordered list with links into the
container and see what happens)
