A telescope located about a million miles away at the Lagrange point 2 (L2) between the Sun and the Earth.
The James Webb Space Telescope took the first images and spectra of Mars. This is reported on the NASA website.
Images of the Red Planet taken by the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) show the poles and northern hemisphere. Orange and yellow represent warmer regions, purple cooler.
The brightest region on the planet is where the Sun is near the zenith, usually the hottest. Light decreases toward the polar regions, which receive less sunlight, and the colder northern hemisphere, which experiences winter at this time of year, emits less light.
In the future, the Mars exploration team will use this imaging and spectroscopy data to study regional differences across the planet, as well as to search for trace gases in the atmosphere, including methane and hydrogen chloride.

It was previously reported that the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) on the Red Planet took pictures of sand dunes.
