TL;DR

India's Chandrayaan-3 lunar rover has made history by detecting chemical elements, including sulphur, on the moon's south pole. This marks the first time sulphur has been found 'in situ' on the moon's surface. The rover has also discovered aluminium, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, silicon, and oxygen, with the search for hydrogen ongoing. The findings have important implications for understanding the moon's evolution and could provide valuable resources for future lunar missions. Chandrayaan-3's mission is expected to last for one lunar day (14 Earth days) before the instruments lose power.
