Neutrinos from the Sky and Through the Earth

---

In the past decade our understanding of neutrinos and their role in the universe has undergone a remarkable transformation. We have discovered that neutrinos morph from one species to another as they journey through matter and space. And based on these observations we know that neutrinos are not massless particles, but have tiny masses, being at least 250,000 times lighter than electrons. Yet even with such diminutive masses, neutrinos play important roles in shaping the largest scales of the cosmos.
