No, you have to jump through them to see what's there. Here's some probing advice:

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS bookmark both sides of every wormhole. If you jump into wormhole space and forget to bookmark the spot and warp off then you'll be scanning down another exit, and depending on the hole there may be a lot of locations to scan through to find your way out again.

If you jump into wormhole that has a gate camp DO NOT MOVE. You have a 30 second timer while invis. Just target the wormhole and start spamming the jump button.

ALWAYS have a cloak and preferably be in a cov ops. If you want to do any scanning in a system first cloak, then warp to a planet at 100km, start moving, uncloak, pop 5 probes out, recloak, and then scan.

After jumping into a wormhole hit the directional scan at max range 360 degrees. This will usually tell you if there is a POS (unless the system is really big).

After you jump in note the name (Jxxxxxx) and go here and search for it: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/J205004 That will tell you activity in the past few days.

Never jump to a newly probed wormhole at 0m. Jump there cloaked at 100km and look for a gate camp first.

I read this and sort of laughed. I mean, I'm in hi-sec, what could be the harm. Well I scanned down a hole, and just to safe I warped in cloaked. Interesting enough, there is a ship sitting there. Now I don't know if he just scanned it down as well, though I doubt he did considering he is in an Ishkur, but chances are pretty good he has friends on the other side.

[a few minutes later]

Now I know he had friends on the inside. He entered the hole and not more than 60 seconds later it collapsed. Not sure how they time it that well, but I'm pretty sure that hole was occupied.

Moral of the story, it never hurts to be sneaky and cloaked. You get to see some interesting things.

Like the Prorator that showed up a minute after collapse


On a side note, Wormholes named K162 are were created from the other side, correct? I.e. if you scan it down and it's K162, someone else has already come through from the other side, correct?

Name: K162
Destination: Unknown - exit point of a wormhole that has been used by someone originating from the other side, therefore more details can no longer be determined from this side

Bother. I don't want to risk any of my characters skilled with probing as they've got +5 implants and they're a bit pricy to replace. Going to have to skill up a new alt with probing skills and cheap implants. This may take a little while...
