Abstract
Some few hundred million years after the big bang the Universe was illuminated by the first stars and galaxies thereby bringing an end to the cosmological dark ages. Since the installation of WFC3 on the Hubble Space Telescope our ability to probe this critical period of the Universe's history has dramatically changed with thousands of objects now identified within the first billion years of the Universe's history. Our understanding of this period of the Universe's history will further grow thanks to both the Atacama Large millimetre/sub-millimetre Array and the James Webb Space Telescope.
