The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Viewed from around 29,400 kilometers from Earth's surface, a cropped, rotated, and processed version has become one of the most reproduced images in history.
- In the original NASA image, named AS17-148-22727 and centered at about 26°19′49″S 37°25′13″E with the South Pole facing upwards, The Blue Marble shows Earth from the Mediterranean Sea to Antarctica.
- This was the first time the Apollo trajectory and seasonal timing made it possible to photograph the south polar ice cap, despite the Southern Hemisphere being heavily covered in clouds.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The The Blue Marble article was read about 330,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
