To observe Mars' rotation using a telescope, you would need to locate the planet in the night sky and track its position over several nights. By observing specific surface features or markings on Mars, such as its polar ice caps or dark surface patches, you can track its rotation period which is roughly 24.6 hours. Note that Mars rotates in the same direction as Earth, so you would need to observe at the same time each night to see the same features.
yes
The first astronaut to see Mars through a telescope was most likely one of the Apollo astronauts who orbited the moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s. These astronauts had training in celestial navigation and would have had access to telescopes for observation during their missions. However, I could not find specific information on which astronaut was the very first to view Mars through a telescope while in space.
All telescopes will see Mars. The larger the scope, the more light that will be collected and the better the image will be of mars. With certain filters, you will be able to disseminate the different areas on the planet.
You can see Mars without a telescope when it is visible in the night sky and relatively close to Earth during its opposition, which occurs approximately every two years. Mars is typically visible to the naked eye as a bright reddish-orange object in the sky during these times.
Yes, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn had been discovered several millennia before the invention of the telescope.
Mars
yes
You would need a telescope to see the moons of Mars, Phobos and Diemos, since their apparent magnitudes are +11.3 and +12.4 respectively. But with a good telescope and good conditions you can see them from Earth.
Yes. Mars has been known since ancient times, long before the telescope was invented.
Yes, through a telescope
You can see Earth, Mars, the Moon and galaxies!

Certainly. Mars is often highly visible with the naked eye.
i think so , in a certain month
Without a telescope you probably couldn't see earth's moon from Mars.

With a suitably giant telescope, probably yes.
