Hubble Deep Field quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Hubble Deep Field card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
In which decade?
The image was assembled from 342 separate exposures taken with the Space Telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 over ten consecutive days between December 18 and 28, ____.
Answer
1990s. The image was assembled from 342 separate exposures taken with the Space Telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 over ten consecutive days between December 18 and 28, 1995. From the Hubble Deep Field article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Tammy Beaumont. Tammy Beaumont 80 · Debate 77 · Konrad Lorenz 74 · Hubble Deep Field 71 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It covers an area about 2.6 arcminutes on a side, about one 24-millionth of the whole sky, which is equivalent in angular size to a tennis ball at a distance of 100 metres.
- The image was assembled from 342 separate exposures taken with the Space Telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 over ten consecutive days between December 18 and 28, 1995.
- The field is so small that only a few foreground stars in the Milky Way lie within it, thus, almost all of the 3,000 objects in the image are galaxies, some of which are among the youngest and most distant known.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hubble Deep Field article was read about 65,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 75: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
How to get Hubble Deep Field
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.
