Modern cosmological observations bring a very consistent picture of the evolution and composition of our Universe. Some uncertainties remain not only on the nature of its main two components (Dark Matter and Dark Energy), but also on several details of the model (dynamics of the stage called inflation, number and properties of relic particles in our Universe, impact of neutrinos on cosmology, etc.) I will provide a broad review of the status of the field, and mention which kind of spectacular progresses can be expected in the next few years from several on-going sky surveys, such as high-precision measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies by the Planck satellite.
