[[Cosmic Anomalies]] are areas of interest that radiate a strong enough signal that you can jump to them immediately after your ship scanner finds them. You don’t need to do any fancy probing or anything: just click and go! Of course, since ''everyone'' can easily see these sites, they’re typically less rewarding, and possibly more crowded than Cosmic Signatures.

Cosmic Anomalies come two main types...

** Regular versions of these sites are a single area filled with several waves of NPC opponents. Blow them up for bounties and loot! Check the [[Cosmic Anomalies]] page for information on the general difficulty of these sites. If you built the High-Sec PvE Combat frigate outlined earlier, you should be able to handily deal with Cosmic Anomalies of the lowest two difficulties (Burrows and Hideaways).

*** If the tag is "Lesser/Standard/Improved/Superior", then these are [[Ghost Site|Ghost Sites]], which have NPCs and hacking.  They can be run with good skills, and sufficient tank (usually a cruiser).  Before attempting these, see [[Ghost Site]] for a lot more details.

*** If the tag is "Besieged", then these are serious Combat sites, that contain a bunch of NPCs including Mordu's Legion Battleships!  As an explorer, avoid these at all costs!

** These sites are temporary pockets filled with either ice asteroids, which can be mined for fuel components, or regular asteroids of a rarer type not normally found in that system. You can tell what kind of asteroids are within the site by the site’s name: they’re pretty obvious. These can be interesting places to head if you’ve cross-trained as a miner, but remember, because they are so easily found, they will likely be filled with other pilots, both friendly and less so.
