The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term almost exclusively refers to the group of stars found near the center of most spiral galaxies.
- Bulges were historically thought to be elliptical galaxies that happened to have a disk of stars around them, but high-resolution images using the Hubble Space Telescope have revealed that many bulges lie at the heart of a spiral galaxy.
- It is now thought that there are at least two types of bulges: bulges that are like ellipticals and bulges that are like spiral galaxies.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Galactic bulge article was read about 22,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
