Whats is > this about in CSS?

[ecross]

Typically I usually see something like this:

header h1 { ... }.

But the other day I was looking at some variety of templates on freehtml5templates.com and found the Rings of Time template using something I never seen before.

header>h1 {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 18px 10px;
width: 600px;
font-size: 50px;
line-height: 36px;
}

Would someone happened to explain what the > sign is about?
