The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Based upon parallax measurements obtained during the Hipparcos mission, it is located roughly 129 light-years distant from the Sun.
- The system consists of a binary pair designated Epsilon Hydrae AB, whose two components are themselves designated Epsilon Hydrae A and B, orbited by a spectroscopic binary designated Epsilon Hydrae C. A possible fourth component, designated Epsilon Hydrae D, shares a common proper motion with the other components and thus is most likely a gravitationally-bound member of the system.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Epsilon Hydrae article was read about 2,700 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 41: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
How to get Epsilon Hydrae
