Is it possible to cover a star with a wooden match held at arm length? (toothpick, in case matches are not available)
Your typical star has 0 angular diameter (for all practical purposes) and a match at arm's length has visibly >0 angular size, so, in theory, it should be possible. What about "in practice"?
