← HistoryWhich adjustment outcome occurred due to precession observations using medieval astrolabes?
A)Epicycle size was recalibrated
B)Alidade length was standardized
C)Ecliptic pole was repositioned✓
D)Planetary latitude fixed annually
💡 Explanation
The ecliptic pole required repositioning in astrolabes because accumulated precession observations revealed coordinate drift; therefore, updated star catalogs shifted this key reference, rather than altering epicycles or instrumentation, ensuring accurate celestial alignment.
