The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This is a period of stellar evolution undertaken by all low- to intermediate-mass stars late in their lives.
- Observationally, an asymptotic-giant-branch star will appear as a bright red giant with a luminosity ranging up to thousands of times greater than the Sun.
- Its interior structure is characterized by a central and largely inert core of carbon and oxygen, a shell where helium is undergoing fusion to form carbon, another shell where hydrogen is undergoing fusion forming helium, and a very large envelope of material of composition similar to main-sequence stars.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Asymptotic giant branch article was read about 35,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 54: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
