(From the article)

Just one day after arriving in orbit around Mars, the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) first interplanetary spacecraft, Hope, captured a stunning photograph of the Red Planet.

The new photo, which is the first since Hope's arrival in Mars orbit on Feb. 9, shows a smattering of clouds, four massive Martian mountains and the vast Valles Marineris — the largest canyon in the solar system — in the right side of the image.

"We couldn't have asked for a better day on Mars!" UAE Space Agency chairperson Sarah Al Amiri wrote in a tweet Sunday (Feb. 14). "Can't wait to see the science data come in so we can comprehensively characterize the lower atmosphere!"
