We prove that a cosmic space (= a Tychonoff space with a countable network) is analytic if it is an image of a $K$-analytic space under a measurable mapping. We also obtain characterizations of analyticity and $\sigma $-compactness in cosmic spaces in terms of metrizable continuous images. As an application, we show that if $X$ is a separable metrizable space and $Y$ is its dense subspace then the space of restricted continuous functions $C_p(X\mid Y)$ is analytic iff it is a $K_{\sigma \delta }$-space iff $X$ is $\sigma $-compact.
