well as above, literally it means hidden, but in context and popular usage it means not widely known about.OK, maybe this is a British vs American thing, but to me the terms rare and obscure are pretty similar. A little help, please...
so Tristan da Cunha could be said to be an obscure island, liberty' island is not such,
nether are rarer than the other( they are both islands) and they are as easy or difficult as each other to find on a map
or pandas are rare, but not at all unheard of, so not obscure
