The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is an intrinsic expansion, so it does not mean that the universe expands into anything or that space exists outside it.
- To any observer in the universe, it appears that all but the nearest galaxies move away at speeds that are proportional to their distance from the observer, on average.
- While objects cannot move faster than light, this limitation applies only with respect to local reference frames and does not limit the recession rates of cosmologically distant objects.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Expansion of the universe article was read about 210,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 63: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
