While astral projecting can you be hurt if you project into the sun,a black hole,or an active atom smasher?Also if you get sprayed by liquid helium or liquid nitrogen while out of body can it freeze your spirit body?

You are making assumptions about the spirit leaving the physical when projecting. 

No-one actually knows for certain what happens during projection.  There are theories abound.  One I lean towards (although haven't actually taken as a belief) is that there is no separation - we merely have the sensation of separation.  Because we are focusing our consciousness somewhere other than the physical, our brain carries out an 'action' to correspond, therefore it gives us the feeling that we are leaving the body.

Another theory is that our consciousness (I deliberately use the word 'consciousness' over spirit as it has less attachments to beliefs) doesn't have to leave our body, because it is not housed there in the first place.

These tend to be modern theories - the more historic you go, the more you will read about spirits, souls getting stuck, ectoplasm, ghosts and the dangers therein.  This is because historically, religion was extremely powerful and to keep its power, it needed to control the masses.  The masses were controlled through fear.  So to stop us from exploring (other dimensions, other realities, the dreamworld, other focuses of consciousness, even ourselves), they came out with stuff like, "if your spirit leaves your body it will never get back in and you'll be stuck in no-mans land forever".

You are going to get different answers to your question.  Each answer will be based on that person's belief.

My answer is "I don't know" because I don't hold any beliefs one way or the other.  As I said, I lean towards the changing focus of consciousness angle (which means that we don't GO anywhere, as in travel and certainly nothing leaves the body), therefore if pushed for an answer, I would say that nothing can hurt you.

We all find nonsenses to believe in; it's part of being alive.
