The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It can contain anywhere from tens of thousands to many millions of member stars, all orbiting in a stable, compact formation.
- This contrasts with open clusters, where the stars are only loosely bound and more easily disrupted.
- Globular clusters are similar in form to dwarf spheroidal galaxies, and though globular clusters were long held to be the more luminous of the two, discoveries of outliers had made the distinction between the two less clear by the early 21st century.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Globular cluster article was read about 85,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
