Do you know that each second about 100 billion neutrinos from the Sun cross every squared centimeter of your body?

They have to be very close to other particles to interact with them, and the atoms in our body are mostly empty space.

BUT, neutrinos can destroy a star!!

Giant, shape-shifting stars spotted near Milky Ways black hole

A number of bizarre shape-shifting objects have been discovered close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
The blobs are thought to be giant stars that spend part of their orbits so close to the black hole that they get stretched out like bubble gum before returning to a compact, roughly spherical form.
