- Lunar eclipses are safe to observe without eye protection.
- Lunar eclipses cause the Moon to appear orange or red.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lunar eclipse article was read about 550,000 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 70: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
