Answer:

They observed the stars with their eyes without any aid of magnifying instrument.

Explanation:

Ptolemy or Claudius Ptolemaeus was the Greek astronomer, mathematician, and geographer who proposed the theory named Ptolemaic System. According to this system of belief, the Universe was thought to be 'geocentric.' Meaning that all the planets, Sun and Moon revolves around the Earth; that the Earth was the center of the Universe. He wrote about his ideas in a book called Almagest.

<u>Ptolemy made observations of the geocentric system by observing the Universe and planets with his</u><u> naked eyes</u><u>. </u><u>He did not use any instrument to make these observations</u><u>. The only planets known at that time were the Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Venus as they were visible with the naked eyes</u>.

So, the correct answer is that Ptolemy or his contemporaries did not use any instrument but based their observations with their naked eyes.

Benedict and Helen share the story of how they came to Kure, and Aldred shares to a lesser degree. When asked what he plans do with all of his experiences and explorations, Aldred tells the siblings about the book he hopes to write and offers an explanation of the events that have brought him to this time and place. He remembers a child, Charlotte, whom he had known when he was a boy and believes that she is the cause for his open-mindedness toward new experiences. This is a trait that serves Aldred well as he continues to explore the countryside and its people. In spite of his open-mindedness in some regards, though, Aldred was a child of one war and a soldier of another; he has experienced a great deal and has become cynical.
