The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was discovered in September 2005 by Mike Brown and the Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics team at the W. M. Keck Observatory.

Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Dysnomia article was read about 79,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 65 and blocks with 67: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
