The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is run by the Institute for Solar Physics of Stockholm University.
- The primary element is a single fused silica lens, making it the largest optical refracting telescope in use in the world.
- The SST, with a lens diameter of 43 inches, is technically larger than Yerkes Observatory, only 39 inches are clear for the aperture.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Swedish Solar Telescope article was read about 4,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 36: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
