- Examples of topics or fields astronomers study include planetary science, solar astronomy, the origin or evolution of stars, or the formation of galaxies.

Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Astronomer article was read about 68,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 38: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
