NGC 3003 is a nearly edge-on barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Leo Minor, discovered by William Herschel on December 7, 1785.[4] It has an apparent visual magnitude of 11.78,[3] at a distance of 19.5 Mpc from the Sun.[2] It has a recessional velocity of 1474 km/s.[1]
In 1961, a type II supernova with an apparent magnitude of 13.0 was detected within the galaxy, and was subsequently designated SN 1961F.[5]

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.
