An anomaly is a deviation from the common rule. It is an irregularity that is difficult to explain using existing rules or theory.
- In astronomy, the anomaly is the angular distance of a planet from its periapsis:
- The true anomaly is observed from the primary (I.e., from the orbit's focus.);
- The eccentric anomaly is observed from the centre of the ellipse, using a projection of the planet's position onto the circumscribing circle; and
- The mean anomaly is the fraction of an orbital period that has elapsed, expressed as an angle.
- In an anomaly time series the times are not uniformly spaced.
- In physics, an anomaly is a classical symmetry that is not a symmetry of the quantum theory. See anomaly (physics).
- Anomaly is a metal band in Malta. See Anomaly (band). [1] (http://www.anomaly.tk)
- Anomaly is a four piece punk/rock band from Tasmania, Australia.
- Anomaly is a DC Comics villain. See Anomaly (comics).
- The protagonist in Storm (comic) is titled the Anomaly.
