How do these deep fields compare against other telescopes' deep fields (Hubble, JWST, &c.)?
edit: Trying to answer my own question: I understand they're around 10,000 times larger that Hubble's deep fields, each (three deep field zones)[a], with about 1/10th the sensitivity (limiting magnitude +27 in the optical bands[b], compared against Hubble's +29.1–30.3 [c]). Or that's the sensitivity it will reach, eventually; the one they've released now is still incomplete.
