Question 1778Navigation General

The correct answer is C) Eastern. At morning stars, the first stars that should be observed are those with an azimuth in the eastern quadrant. This is because the eastern quadrant is the first area of the sky to become visible as the sun rises and the sky transitions from night to day. Stars in the eastern quadrant will be the first to appear and become observable for celestial navigation purposes. The other answer choices are incorrect because the southern, western, and northern quadrants would not contain the first stars visible during the morning star observation period.
