I used this function below to calculate the zernike moments of my image. 

mahotas.features.zernike_moments(im, radius=150, degree=8, cm={center_of_mass(im)})

I set degree=8 and get 25 returned values. Can someone explain to me why I got 25 values and what are they?

What is this "degree" here? Is it the radial degree or the azimuthal degree?

I have difficulties to correlate this results with the knowledge from wikipedia. For example if I set degree = 2, four values are returned. But from wikipedia, there are three polynomials with radial degree = 2 and in total 6 polynomials with radial degree <= 2. Why?

Actually as per code degree is used just to control the loop it is not used in any calculation so it seems it can be used to denote number of order
