The exploration of the earliest phase of star and galaxy formation after the Big Bang remains an important challenge of contemporary astrophysics and represents a key science driver for numerous future facilities. During this phase the first stars and galaxies appear and start to light up and ionize the then neutral Universe ending thereby the so called cosmic dark ages and leading progressively to the complete reionization we observe now at redshift z≃6 or earlier.
