Abstract: Hubble Frontier Fields show galaxies deep in the past at red shifts up to 8. This is the time shortly after the reionization of the universe and formation of the first stars. Sizes of star forming clouds are at the level of 10 pc only, close to the dimesions of globular clusters. The early enrichment by yields of stellar evolution and dust is essential ingredient in the explanation of presence of multiple stellar generations in globular clusters. Massive star clusters form also in the local universe and I will speculate how is the early star formation producing...

This year Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to three leading scientists from LIGO-VIRGO Collaboration “for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves”. I will first recall basic facts about the origin and detection of gravitational waves in general and then discuss in nontechnical terms the construction and amazing sensitivity of LIGO detector as well as the way how the gravitational waves are recorded and presented.
The crucial role of the three Nobel Prize Laureates will be emphasized and all five signals of gravitational waves...
