← HistoryWhich consequence results when using a poorly calibrated astrolabe?
A)Inaccurate celestial position calculations ensue✓
B)The alidade bends irreparably inwards
C)Clockwork drive mechanism becomes misaligned
D)Brass components experience accelerated corrosion
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate celestial position calculations occur when using a poorly calibrated astrolabe because an angular MISMEASUREMENT leads to incorrect altitude and azimuth values for stars; therefore, positions deviate from reality, rather than causing physical damage.
