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.

Who was the first astronaut to see mars with a telescope?

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.
