The United Arab Emirates has published the first image of Mars sent by its space probe.

The picture, taken on Wednesday, shows sunlight coming across the surface of Mars, as well as the planet's north pole and largest volcano, Olympus Mons.

The image comes from the spacecraft named Hope, or Amal in Arabic, which swung into orbit around Mars on Tuesday following a seven-month flight.
