Chandrayaan-3 Rover and Lander Uncover Lunar Sulphur Deposits

The Chandrayaan-3 rover has discovered Sulphur on the Moon, and the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectroscope (APXS) has confirmed its presence using an alternative technique. Scientists are now exploring different explanations for the source of Sulphur, including intrinsic, volcanic, or meteoritic origins. The APXS, developed by the Physical Research Laboratory, is crucial in analyzing the elemental composition of lunar soil and rocks in the south polar region where Chandrayaan-3 landed.
