The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was discovered on 24 October 1851 by William Lassell and named for a character in two different pieces of literature.
- As of 2019, much of the detailed knowledge of Ariel derives from a single flyby of Uranus performed by the space probe Voyager 2 in 1986, which managed to image around 35% of the moon's surface.
- There are no active plans at present to return to study the moon in more detail, although various concepts such as a Uranus Orbiter and Probe have been proposed.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ariel article was read about 53,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
