Gravitational collapse, an Uncommon card
Gravitational collapse is the contraction of an astronomical object due to the influence of its own gravity, which tends to draw matter inward toward the center of gravity.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Gravitational collapse is a fundamental mechanism for structure formation in the universe.
- Over time an initial, relatively smooth distribution of matter, after sufficient accretion, may collapse to form pockets of higher density, such as stars or black holes.
- Star formation involves a gradual gravitational collapse of interstellar medium into clumps of molecular clouds and potential protostars.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gravitational collapse article was read about 60,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 49: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Gravitational collapse
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
