In Astronomy (and also in Astrodynamics ), 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) and Conformal Anomaly , Chiral Anomaly , Gravitational Anomaly , Gauge Anomaly , Mixed Anomaly , Global Anomaly , Parity Anomaly .

In Geodesy and Geophysics , the Gravity Anomaly (e.g., Bouguer Anomaly or Free-air Anomaly ) measures variations in the Earth 's Gravitation al field.

In Spacecraft Operations , an anomaly is an event that results in an unexpected and unwanted event that may cause a negative impact to the state of health of the Spacecraft .
