History

Which outcome results from imprecise instrument manufacture on astronomical readings from pre-telescope era astrolabes?

A)Increased stellar parallax miscalculation
B)Elevated geocentric model accuracy
C)Significant systematic error accumulation
D)Improved exoplanet transit detection

💡 Explanation

Significant systematic error accumulation arises because inaccurate instrument engraving causes a PARALLAX ERROR, adding consistently skewed measurements. Therefore, readings drift away from their true values rather than providing accurate parallax, because imprecise manufacture compromises angular resolution.
