  With neutrino astronomy just beginning to burgeon, and the prospects of
detecting the cosmic neutrino background closer than ever, we live in an era
with the unique opportunity not only to investigate the universe with this
novel probe, but conversely to utilise the cosmos as a laboratory to study
neutrinos themselves. This thesis aims to expound on some of the ways to seize
this opportunity, using corollaries of our standard model, gravitational
lensing, inverse beta decay, and the neutrino's spin to achieve our goals.
Theoretically, these tools prove insightful and impressive, but difficulties in
experimental precision and a low rate of certain astrophysical events hinder
the capabilities of these mechanisms. Regardless, the future of neutrino
astronomy is certainly bright.
