History

Which 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.
