The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This is in contrast to extragalactic astronomy, which is the study of everything outside our galaxy, including all other galaxies.
- Galactic astronomy should not be confused with galaxy formation and evolution, which is the general study of galaxies, their formation, structure, components, dynamics, interactions, and the range of forms they take.
- The Milky Way galaxy, where the Solar System is located, is in many ways the best-studied galaxy, although important parts of it are obscured from view in visible wavelengths by regions of cosmic dust.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Galactic astronomy article was read about 4,500 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 43 and blocks with 15: each hit it takes is cut by 6 %.
