Summary
| Description |
A disk galaxy, I want to say lenticular, but SIMBAD notes it as a spiral? Well, sometimes it is hard to tell. The important part of this galaxy is its magnificent bowtie. The stars in this galaxy's X-shaped nucleus are not orbiting in simple ellipses, but rather in a looping, figure eight path. This is something I need to learn more about before I say much more. This galaxy was imaged as part of the Zoo Gems project. Gems of the Galaxy Zoos All Channels: ACS/WFC F606W North is 93.80° counter-clockwise from up. |

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.
