Abstract
Recent cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements combined with recent supernovae limits and other observational data have ambushed Omega(Lambda) and Omega(m). These cosmological culprits are trapped in a small pocket of parameter space: Omega(Lambda) = 0.62 +/- 0.16 and Omega(m) = 0.24 +/- 0.10 . If this is correct then an unknown 2/3 of the Universe has been identifie d.
