With respect to the formation of the first stars from primordial material and the sources of reionization, the observations of galaxies at z = 6.5, where Lyα is observable through an atmospheric window in the z' band, are of great interest. Employing slitless spectroscopy with FORS at the VLT, we have found a Lyα-emitting galaxy at z = 6.5 with a SFR(UV) of 70 M&sun; yr-1. Together with the small sample of currently known Lyα emitters at z = 6.5, this object puts constraints on the global star-formation history and the epoch of reionization.
