History

Which result occurred during heavy astrolabe usage due to incorrect alignment?

A)Inaccurate celestial altitude measurements observed
B)Decreased brass gear lubrication efficacy
C)Lens cracking from rapid temperature cycling
D)Increased accuracy calculating planetary positions

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate celestial altitude arose because *parallax error* increased during misaligned heavy astrolabe use; therefore, angular readings deviate, rather than improved planetary position accuracy, because parallax directly affects the observed angle.
