← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when astrolabes were initially mass-produced using inaccurate machining?
A)Unintended epicycle calculations emerged in use
B)Incorrect tidal data interpretations occurred then
C)Parallax errors biased celestial navigation
D)Star positions yielded systematic angular offsets✓
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate machining of astrolabes caused systematic angular offsets due to gnomonic projection errors because instrument markings were misaligned. Therefore angular measurements were inaccurate, rather than introducing epicycles because of inherent calculation errors.
