2,886 Pointswhy is figure and aside separated by a comma, but aside and img are not?
Aren't the figure and the img elements both descendants of the aside element?
figure, aside img, #bio { width: 100%; max-width: 600px; }

The two terms aside and img form a descendant selector, where the first term identifies a containing element and the second one identifies the actual target. So in this case the target is any img element that is inside an aside. For more details, see this MDN page.

2,886 PointsThank you very much. I was searching for the MDN page on this subject, but just kept calling them selectors. Now I know they are descendant selectors. Thank you very much for this source.
