they are a type of lepton that can be produced in stars. They travel near the speed of light and are believed to possess miniscule mass. Neutrinos also lack an electric charge and can pass though most matter undisturbed.

I would like to point out 2 things:1. @theifofpie-why answer the question that has already been answered?2. Nuetrinos, which can pass through any type of matter are ALMOST undetectable but only now are scientists finding ways to view them. Also each neutrino has it's own antineutrino. The only way a neutrino is created when an atom goes by radioactive decay.^That's not cut and paste.Reason: I just wanted to add that 2nd part in
