If you wish to own or run a museum, then Two Point Museum is the closest you can get to that. This museum simulator offers tons of unique features that can get complicated rather quickly, and one of the more mysterious items you will encounter are Astral Anomalies. This guide will cover how to activate Astral Anomalies and all effects they offer in Two Point Museum.
How To Activate Astral Anomalies In Two Point Museum
While exploring the Known Universe, your space team might pick up on some alien Astral Anomaly. The more anomalies you collect, the higher the bonus effects you get by combining them in the correct sequence. At the most basic level, you will just require Celestial Cells to activate an Anomaly, and Celestial Cells are quite common to get. They come in three shapes; Circle, Square, and Triangle. To activate an Astral Anomaly, you need to pay attention to the symbols represented in front of the anomaly’s casing or base.

There will be either two or three shapes that can be a combination of any of the Celestial Cell shapes. All you need to do is place the Celestial Cells within the radius of the Astral Anomaly to activate it. You can check the radius of the anomaly by clicking on it and observing the blue circle that appears around it. Some advanced Astral Anomalies might require other Astral Anomalies to activate it, so you can place those together to activate it and get buffs.
All Astral Anomalies and Locations

There are 13 Astral Anomalies to locate in the game so far, and below are where you can find them as well as the buffs you get for activating them.
Note: Celestial Cells can be found around the Solar System. Triangles and Circles can be found around Two Point Orbit, and the Moon has an abundance of Square cells.
