The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

- All celestial objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit some form of electromagnetic radiation.
- In order to study the universe, scientists use several different types of telescopes to detect these different types of emitted radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Infrared telescope article was read about 7,500 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 51 and blocks with 25: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
