We review some of the possible observable effects (reionization, feedback on galaxy formation, supernovae and metal enrichment) of the first collapsed, luminous (Pop III) objects in the universe. We show that supernovae in these objects should be considerably magnified by the intervening cosmological matter distribution; the implications of this process are briefly discussed, anticipating some of the results of Marri & Ferrara (1998).
