Understanding the dark and visible cosmic structures in the universe takes us to the frontiers of observational astrophysics. Until recently, the most distant objects known were the quasars-glaringly luminous objects, powered by accretion onto massive black holes. Over the past few years, however, sensitive surveys with space- and ground-based telescopes allowed us to find ordinary galaxies beyond the farthest quasars. Since then, the race has been on to find the most distant stars and their explosive deaths events that drive the cycle of chemical enrichment. GRBs provide novel opportunities to probe the universe beyond the epoch of re-ionization, and if we can capitalize on data from high-energy satellites such as INTEGRAL, Swift, AGILE, and GLAST, a new era of γ-ray driven cosmology will provide excitement for generations to come.
