This Hubble image features a trio of galaxies that appear to be very close together, but appearances can be deceiving. The large spiral galaxy at the bottom right is NGC 1356. The two apparently smaller spiral galaxies flanking it are LEDA 467699 ( top) and LEDA 95415 ( left).

The arrangement of galaxies in the cosmic web may look haphazard, but it's ordered in its own way, structured with vast walls and voids between them.

"Building the world's largest digital camera will allow scientists to explore the cosmos in new ways and at a scale that will enable discoveries that should fundamentally change our understanding of the universe," said Aaron Roodman, deputy director of the Rubin Construction.

The entire Rubin team is so excited about this data; we have been talking about this data for over two decades. It's finally here.
