In this contribution the role of strangeness in astrophysics is discussed and, more precisely, strange hadronic matter in the interior of neutron stars. A special attention is payed to certain phenomena involving strange hadronic matter, such as the hyperon puzzle, kaon condensation and the thermal behaviour of hyperons in neutron star mergers.
