The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Its name means "chisel" in Latin, and it was formerly known as Caelum Sculptorium, it is a rare word, unrelated to the far more common Latin caelum, meaning "sky", "heaven", or "atmosphere".
- It is the eighth-smallest constellation, and subtends a solid angle of around 0.038 steradians, just less than that of Corona Australis.
- Due to its small size and location away from the plane of the Milky Way, Caelum is a rather barren constellation, with few objects of interest.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Caelum article was read about 24,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 61: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
