NGC 6122 is a spiral galaxy located around 484 million light-years away in the constellation Corona Borealis.[2][1] NGC 6122 was discovered on May 6, 1886 by the astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan, and its diameter is 211,000 light-years.[3][4] NGC 6122 is not known to have much star-formation, and does not have an active galactic nucleus.[1][3]
NGC 6122 has been the host of one supernova so far: SN 2003ge.[5] It was discovered on June 21, 2003 by astronomers Tim Puckett and Alex Langoussis. It was located 8".8 west and 0".1 north of the nucleus. The supernova was Type Ia.[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.
