The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Appearing in October 1604, it is the most recent supernova in the Milky Way galaxy to have been unquestionably observed by the naked eye, occurring no farther than 6 kiloparsecs from Earth.
- Before the adoption of the current naming system for supernovae, it was named for Johannes Kepler, the German astronomer who described it in De Stella Nova.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Kepler's Supernova article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 49: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
