← HistoryWhich consequence results when medieval astronomers misaligned astrolabe components?
A)Inaccurate planetary position calculations arise✓
B)Distorted lens grinds are required

D)Corrupted celestial sphere castings forms

In an astrolabe, misalignment results in an incorrect angular relationship reflecting angles in the sky, leading to inaccuracies, because the stereographic projection mechanism relies on precise settings; therefore inaccurate prediction result, rather than corrupted castings or gear instability.
