IC 923 is a lenticular galaxy located in Ursa Major. Its redshift is 0.069243[1] which means the galaxy is 954 million light-years from Earth.[2] IC 923 has apparent dimensions of 0.50 x 0.2 arcmin, meaning it is approximately 139,000 light-years across.[3] IC 923 was discovered in June 1892, by Edward Emerson Barnard[4][5] and is a member of galaxy group V1CG 588.[6]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
