NGC 1347 is a barred spiral galaxy situated in the constellation of Eridanus. It is at a distance of 81 million light years and is a member of the Eridanus cluster, a cluster of about 200 galaxies.
NGC 1347 has a Hubble classification of SBc, which indicates it is a barred spiral galaxy. It is moving away from the Milky Way at a rate of 1,760 km/s. Its size on the night sky is 1.5' x 1.3' which is proportional to its real size of 35 000 ly.
NGC 1347 forms a pair, named Arp 39, with the galaxy PGC 816443.
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.
