Cosmic Anomalies (as well as [[Cosmic Signatures]]) are both part of [[Exploration]] in EVE. Unlike signatures, Cosmic Anomalies require no special skills trained to find or complete them and they do not appear in [[Deadspace]] zones. Cosmic Anomalies are generally regarded as the easier form of [[Exploration]] and suitable for even the newest player to try their hand at.
[[Cosmic Anomalies]] (not to be confused with [[Cosmic Signatures]]) are [[exploration]] PvE sites that can be found throughout known space in EVE. They are found using the system scanner, and require no skills to locate, unlike [[Cosmic Signatures]], which require probes and probing skills. Cosmic Anomalies come in two forms: '''Combat Sites''' or '''Ore Sites'''. Combat sites contain multiple NPC rats to be killed with a combat ship, while Ore sites contain asteroids to be mined for minerals or ice products. Combat sites come in a variety of difficulties, depending on the security level of the space where they are found.  
 
 
Cosmic Anomalies are either '''Combat Sites''' or '''Ore Sites'''. Ore Sites can contain asteroids or ice belts (see [[Ice Mining]]). Combat Sites contain NPC rats or Drones, they are not as difficult as their cosmic signature counterparts, but can have rich rewards as well. They have different difficulty ratings, getting increasingly harder the lower the security status of a system.

Cosmic Anomalies can be found by [[Scanning & Probing|probing]] them or by using your [[Scanning#On-board_System_Scanner|onboard scanner]].
Cosmic Anomalies can be found by using your [[Scanning#On-board_System_Scanner|onboard scanner]].


To find these sites, you simply jump into a system, check the onboard scanner and warp to any results. Cosmic Anomalies appear within a 4 AU range around planets. Open your onboard scanner by pressing ALT+D, select the "System Scanner", results will update automatically. When you have found an anomaly, warp there or create a bookmark of its position. Once an Anomaly has been completed, it will disappear after some time.
