The Saskatoon experiment (SK experiment or SK) was a ground-based telescope experiment to measure the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at multipole moments between 60 and 360. It was named after Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, where the experiment took place, occurring in the Canadian winters of 1993 to 1995.[1]
The experiment intended to measure the temperature fluctuations of the CMB at smaller angular scales than demonstrated with COBE, therefore at degree angular scales less than 7 degrees.[2]

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.
