The actual deviation cannot be calculated at this time because it is unknown how CCP has factored signal strength into the equation. However, the maximum deviation, the worst case scenario, can be calculated. The stronger your signal strength, the less actual deviation you will have - therefore the deviation of your scan will always be less than the distance shown below. (Knowing your relative signal strength will help you get an idea of how far way that dot might actually be from your target.) | The actual deviation cannot be calculated at this time because it is unknown how CCP has factored signal strength into the equation.

Scan results are divided into cosmic signatures and cosmic anomalies depending on how they are located. They are also split into wormholes, combat, ore, gas, data and relic sites based on their contents. | Scan results are divided into cosmic signatures and cosmic anomalies depending on how they are located.

===Cosmic anomalies=== | ===Cosmic anomalies=== | ||
Cosmic anomalies are PvE sites that can be found throughout EVE. They are found using the system scanner, and require no skills or equipment to locate. To locate cosmic anomalies, simply open the probe scanner window where they are visible as warpable sites. | Cosmic anomalies are PvE sites that can be found throughout EVE.

Cosmic signatures are scannable locations in space. To locate a cosmic signature it must be scanned with scan probes. You can see in the scan window whether a system contains cosmic signatures, but identifying them and pinpointing them requires scan probes. The type is identified at 25% scan, the name is revealed at 75% scan and the site is warpable at 100% scan. | Cosmic signatures are scannable locations in space.
