The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- At the far extreme of their orbits, aphelion, Kreutz sungrazers can be a hundred times farther from the Sun than the Earth is, while their distance of closest approach can be less than twice the Sun's radius.
- They are believed to be fragments of one large comet that broke up several centuries ago and are named for German astronomer Heinrich Kreutz, who first demonstrated that they were related.
- These sungrazers make their way from the distant outer Solar System to the inner Solar System, to their perihelion point near the Sun, and then leave the inner Solar System in their return trip to their aphelion.
Why it is Uncommon

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
