Abstract

A century ago, during Einstein's miracle year, we only knew that the sky was dark at night.  Now we have a wealth of data about the Universe, much of it from the last decade and even the last year.  And a dark energy and dark matter dominated critical density model with a scale-invariant primordial density perturbation power spectrum is still a good fit to all of the data
