Caption: Figure 1.

A color-composite NIRCam image of the central region of NGC 602, adopted from P. Zeidler et al. (2024). The image combines the following filters: F115W+F140M+F150W (blue), F210M (cyan), F277W (green), F335M (yellow), F356W (orange), and F480M (red). The strong mid-IR emission from MZS-1 (discussed in Section 3.1) is not detected in this NIR image. The bright O3 star Sk183 is indicated for reference. The inset at the bottom right shows an RGB image constructed from MIRI F1000W, F1130W, and F1550W data, highlighting a 25″ × 25″ region centered on the mid-IR emission, which appears as diffuse pink emission. In this view, Sk183 appears fainter and is marked with a green cross. North is up, and East is to the left. Note that this image does not cover the full NIRCam field of view.
