What are neutrinos?
Neutrinos are neutral elementary particles produced by the sun and stars through nuclear fusion and decay in their core. These particles travel nearly at the speed of light and interact with matter via a weak force. This allows them to pass through almost all matter unhindered. Sources of neutrinos can be exploding stars or super nova, radioactivity from natural sources, nuclear reactors and interaction of cosmic rays with the earth
