The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They are the most violent type of galaxy interaction.
- The gravitational interactions between galaxies and the friction between the gas and dust have major effects on the galaxies involved, but the exact effects of such mergers depend on a wide variety of parameters such as collision angles, speeds, and relative size/composition, and are currently an extremely active area of research.
- Galaxy mergers are important because the merger rate is a fundamental measurement of galaxy evolution and also provides astronomers with clues about how galaxies grew into their current forms over long stretches of time.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Galaxy merger article was read about 20,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 61: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
