The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Its name is Latin for crab and it is commonly represented as one.
- Cancer is a medium-size constellation with an area of 506 square degrees and its stars are rather faint, its brightest star Beta Cancri having an apparent magnitude of 3.5.
- It contains ten stars with known planets, including 55 Cancri, which has five: one super-Earth and four gas giants, one of which is in the habitable zone and as such has expected temperatures similar to Earth.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cancer article was read about 80,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 66: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
