Speck

In case you're feeling microscopic in relevance, a speck flying thru space, consider the case of poor dwarf stars.

Like, Sirius B for example. No, not a new rapper. It's the much older kind of star, as in celestial body. Unbelievable, but true, it's not larger than Venus. Smallest star known? No, debatable.

Many say it's currently a teeny star called "2MASS J0523-1403" located just 40 light years away. That's practicality a hopscotch from here. Some scientists suggest 2MASS may represent the smallest possible star.

You see, all things big and small have limitations. Not just microscopic you.
