The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Originally the INT was situated at Herstmonceux Castle in Sussex, England, which was the site of the Royal Greenwich Observatory after it moved away from Greenwich due to light pollution.
- It was inaugurated in 1967 by Queen Elizabeth II.
- Herstmonceux suffered from poor weather, and the advent of mass air travel made it plausible for UK astronomers to run an overseas observatory.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Isaac Newton Telescope article was read about 4,400 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 59: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
