A transition to low-opacity SNe-produced dust at z>9 reproduces the observed low attenuation and UV luminosity function excess in early galaxies.
A 6-arcsecond resolution extinction map of M33 derived from RGB star color fitting shows dust up to 2.5 mag aligned with hydrogen, HI, and CO distributions.
