ISRO's new dust detector, DEX, has successfully identified tiny space particles hitting Earth. These particles, called interplanetary dust, come from comets and asteroids. DEX recorded these impacts between January and February this year. This technology helps us understand space better and is crucial for future space missions. It can also study dust on other planets.
