← HistoryWhich result occurred during heavy astrolabe usage due to incorrect alignment?
A)Inaccurate celestial altitude measurements observed✓
B)Decreased brass gear lubrication efficacy
C)Lens cracking from rapid temperature cycling
D)Increased accuracy calculating planetary positions
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate celestial altitude arose because *parallax error* increased during misaligned heavy astrolabe use; therefore, angular readings deviate, rather than improved planetary position accuracy, because parallax directly affects the observed angle.
