The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- As one of the founders of the discipline, James Keeler, said, astrophysics "seeks to ascertain the nature of the heavenly bodies, rather than their positions or motions in space, what they are, rather than where they are", which is studied in celestial mechanics.
- Astrophysics is also used when designing and plotting courses for spacecraft.
- Among the subjects studied are the Sun, other stars, galaxies, extrasolar planets, the interstellar medium, and the cosmic microwave background.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Astrophysics article was read about 160,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
