The role of neutrinos in stars is introduced for students with little prior
astrophysical exposure. We begin with neutrinos as an energy-loss channel in
ordinary stars and conversely, how stars provide information on neutrinos and
possible other low-mass particles. Next we turn to the Sun as a measurable
source of neutrinos and other particles. Finally we discuss supernova (SN)
neutrinos, the SN 1987A measurements, and the quest for a high-statistics
neutrino measurement from the next nearby SN. We also touch on the subject of
neutrino oscillations in the high-density SN context.
