The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Initially, Earth was believed to be the center of the Universe, which consisted only of those planets visible with the naked eye and an outlying sphere of fixed stars.
- After the acceptance of the heliocentric model in the 17th century, observations by William Herschel and others showed that the Sun lay within a vast, disc-shaped galaxy of stars.
- By the 20th century, observations of spiral nebulae revealed that the Milky Way galaxy was one of billions in an expanding universe, grouped into clusters and superclusters.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Location of Earth article was read about 35,000 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 67: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
