History

Which navigational outcome resulted when astrolabes incorporated improved geometric projection?

A)Oceanic longitude more accurately calculated
B)Stellar parallax less easily measured
C)Planetary occultation events less detectable
D)Sidereal time became more challenging

💡 Explanation

Improved geometric projection in astrolabes allowed for more accurate mapping of the celestial sphere, improving accuracy; determining longitude relied heavily on accurate timekeeping derived from celestial observations, with Stereographic projection therefore enabled navigators to fix their east-west position better rather than other stellar or occultation effects.
