← HistoryWhich precision improvement results when al-Battani increased observational baseline?
A)Improved epicycle eccentricity calculations
B)More precise eclipse timing prediction✓
C)Refined celestial sphere mapping
D)Enhanced astrological chart accuracy
💡 Explanation
More precise eclipse timing prediction emerges, because longer observation periods allow for superior application of least squares; therefore, one can achieve better solutions, rather than alternatives attained when shorter data sets limit solution sensitivity.
