\n MeV neutrinos open n ew strategies and challenges for a variety of topics in astroparticle phys ics. I will first discuss their role in understanding core-collapse supern ova physics. These supernovae are among the most energetic phenomena in th e Universe yet their mechanism remains unresolved. I will outline the sear ch for the next supernova neutrinos\, and describe what supernova physics can be learned from their detections. Along the way\, I will demonstrate t he strong interplay between supernova physics and astronomy. I will then d iscuss the role of neutrinos in probing the particle nature of dark matter . Dominating the matter budget of the Universe\, dark matter remains one o f the foremost challenges in astroparticle physics and cosmology. Neutrino s are well-positioned to becoming a new window in which to study the Unive rse\, bringing new insights\, and potentially surprises.
