← HistoryWhich navigational outcome resulted when astrolabes incorporated improved geometric projection?
A)Oceanic longitude more accurately calculated✓
B)Stellar parallax less easily measured
C)Planetary occultation events less detectable
D)Sidereal time became more challenging
💡 Explanation
Improved geometric projection in astrolabes allowed for more accurate mapping of the celestial sphere, improving accuracy; determining longitude relied heavily on accurate timekeeping derived from celestial observations, with Stereographic projection therefore enabled navigators to fix their east-west position better rather than other stellar or occultation effects.
