The spacecraft was launched last July from Japan, and entered Mars' orbit seven months later.
According to the space agency of the United Arab Emirates, the photo was taken just 24,700 miles from the surface of Mars, a day after the entry of the spacecraft into orbit.

The lander is the first of three to reach Mars this month after similar missions by China and the United States last July.
They all took advantage of the time period when Earth and Mars are closest.
Amal will attack Mars for one local year - lasting 687 days - and is set to begin transmitting more information to Earth starting in September.
The information will be available to scientists all over the world.
