Chandrayaan-3 Finds Sulfur

 The Chandrayaan-3 lander has found sulfur (and a host of other elements including oxygen) at the moon's south pole.

Sulfur was in the Apollo samples, but the south pole is likely a better target for manned missions than the equatorial sites Apollo favored. The element is useful for battery recharging and construction work...as well as telling us things about the moon's history.
