| Cosmic anomalies are the first type of exploration site, and can be found (and warped to) with the ship's scanner or a single probe. With probes, simply get one out, set it as big as it will go and scan the system. As soon as you cover a cosmic anomaly you'll get a 100% hit that you can bookmark and ignore. | | Cosmic anomalies are the first type of exploration site, they appear automatically in the ship scanner whenever you enter a system. Cosmic anomalies come in two basic varieties: Combat sites, and Ore sites. |

| Cosmic Anomalies can also be found using your onboard scanner and are designed to appear within 4 AU range around planets. Your on-board scanner has a range of 64 AU (note: this has recently increased). Therefore you should be able to scan the majority of a system in one attempt. Open your onboard scanner by pressing CTRL+F11, select the "System Scanner" and press the "analyze" button tab. For large systems (i.e. more than 64 AU in radius) you may need to warp to another position in the system and repeat to cover the entire system. Use the star map (access via the [[NeoCom|NeoCom]] or by pressing F10) to assess whether this is necessary. When you have found an anomaly warp there or create a bookmark of its position. Once an Anomaly is been completed it will disappear after you warp out, so make sure to bookmark the wrecks if you want to salvage them.
| | Once a Combat Anomaly has been completed it will disappear after you warp out, so make sure to bookmark the wrecks if you want to salvage them later. Ore sites will despawn when all asteroids have been depleted, or after an internal timer expires. |
