The cosmic neutrino background last-scattering surface is the locus from which relic neutrinos that reach an observer underwent their final appreciable scattering. Although neutrino decoupling occurs before photon decoupling, a massive neutrino travels slower than light after becoming nonrelativistic, so its last-scattering surface need not be farther away than the Cosmic microwave background last-scattering surface.
