Implementation of the observational (sighting-based) Islamic calendar.
Unlike the tabular calendars in Calendrical.Islamic.Civil and
Calendrical.Islamic.Tbla, the start of each lunar month in this
calendar is determined by actual visibility of the new crescent
moon at a sample location. The location used here is Cairo,
Egypt (30.1° N, 31.3° E, 200 m), the canonical "Islamic location"
used by Dershowitz & Reingold's Calendrical Calculations.
This is the calendar identified by the CLDR :islamic calendar
type. Days are assumed to begin at midnight.
Visibility model
Crescent visibility is computed by Astro.new_visible_crescent/3
using the Odeh (2006) criterion by default — a modern
empirical model fitted against 737 historical sightings. The Odeh
criterion replaces Reingold's older Shaukat criterion and is the
basis for several national Islamic calendar committees.
A month begins on the day after the evening its crescent is first
predicted to be visible: that evening is the eve of the month's first
day, when the Islamic day begins. Months are 29 or 30 days long
depending on whether the crescent was visible on the eve of the 30th
day; years are 354 or 355 days long. Because the Umm al-Qura rule
declares a month once the moon sets after the sun, before a crescent
can be seen, each month begins on the same day as in
Calendrical.Islamic.UmmAlQura or a day later (so for every month of
1400–1470 AH).
Performance
Each calendar conversion makes a small number of crescent visibility calls (typically 1-3, plus one new-moon search). The underlying astronomical computations are not cached, so users that need to convert many dates may benefit from caching results externally.

at Mecca, and Calendrical.Islamic.UmmAlQura for the official
Saudi tabular calendar.
ICU's islamic calendar, and its islamic-rgsa alias, begin a month
on the day after the conjunction rather than on a sighting, so they run
a day ahead of this calendar in most months. Against the dates Saudi
Arabia announces, this calendar is within a day and ICU is sometimes a
day early.

@spec date_at(DateTime.t(), Keyword.t()) :: {:ok, Date.t()} | {:error, Exception.t()}
Returns the observational Hijri date in effect at a given instant, under a chosen day-start convention.
The Islamic day begins at sunset, so after sunset at the observation point
(Cairo) the date is already the following day. This maps an absolute instant
to the Hijri date, choosing the boundary with the :day_start option, always
evaluated at Cairo (the calendar's reference location).
For the plain civil-day mapping (the calendar's default), convert a date
directly with Date.convert/2 instead.
Arguments
datetimeis aDateTime.t/0— an absolute instant. Its own time zone fixes the instant; the day boundary is always taken at Cairo.
Options
:day_startselects the moment the day begins::midnight(the default) — 00:00 Cairo standard time, the ordinary civil-day mapping.:evening— 18:00 Cairo standard time, the fixed-clock proxy for sunset.:sunset— true sunset (Maghrib) at Cairo, computed viaAstro.
