- It was discovered by Fritz Zwicky in 1941.
- Zwicky considered his discovery "one of the most complicated structures awaiting its explanation on the basis of stellar dynamics." The Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies measured a D25 isophotal diameter for the Cartwheel Galaxy at about 60.9 arcseconds, giving it a diameter of 57.69 kiloparsecs based on a redshift-derived distance of 132.2 megaparsecs.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cartwheel Galaxy article was read about 22,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 46: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
