The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The north and south celestial poles appear permanently directly overhead to observers at Earth's North Pole and South Pole, respectively.
- As Earth spins on its axis, the two celestial poles remain fixed in the sky, and all other celestial points appear to rotate around them, completing one circuit per day.
- The celestial poles are also the poles of the celestial equatorial coordinate system, meaning they have declinations of +90 degrees and −90 degrees.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Celestial pole article was read about 31,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 32: each hit it takes is cut by 13 %.
