Right now, neutrinos are passing through your body from stars that detonated as supernovae halfway across the Universe. Don't worry; they're not dangerous, but they could be a key way to understand the cosmos, understanding how massive stars lived and died across eons. This is the "diffuse supernova neutrino background," and scientists still haven't detected it. New instruments are in the works that might make the first observations of this background by 2035.
