Abstract
We review some astrophysical and cosmological properties and implications of neutrino masses and mixing angles. These include constraints based on the relic density of neutrinos, limits on their masses and lifetimes, limits from big bang nucleosynthesis on mass parameters, and the relation of neutrinos to supernovae and high-energy cosmic rays.
