27 /**
28  * <code>IslamicCalendar</code> is a subclass of <code>Calendar</code>
29  * that implements the Islamic civil and religious calendars.  It
30  * is used as the civil calendar in most of the Arab world and the
31  * liturgical calendar of the Islamic faith worldwide.  This calendar
32  * is also known as the "Hijri" calendar, since it starts at the time
33  * of Mohammed's emigration (or "hijra") to Medinah on Thursday,
34  * July 15, 622 AD (Julian).
35  * <p>
36  * The Islamic calendar is strictly lunar, and thus an Islamic year of twelve
37  * lunar months does not correspond to the solar year used by most other
38  * calendar systems, including the Gregorian.  An Islamic year is, on average,
39  * about 354 days long, so each successive Islamic year starts about 11 days
40  * earlier in the corresponding Gregorian year.
41  * <p>
42  * Each month of the calendar starts when the new moon's crescent is visible
43  * at sunset.  However, in order to keep the time fields in this class
44  * synchronized with those of the other calendars and with local clock time,
45  * we treat days and months as beginning at midnight,
46  * roughly 6 hours after the corresponding sunset.
47  * <p>
48  * There are two main variants of the Islamic calendar in existence.  The first
49  * is the <em>civil</em> calendar, which uses a fixed cycle of alternating 29-
50  * and 30-day months, with a leap day added to the last month of 11 out of
51  * every 30 years.  This calendar is easily calculated and thus predictable in
52  * advance, so it is used as the civil calendar in a number of Arab countries.
53  * This is the default behavior of a newly-created <code>IslamicCalendar</code>
54  * object.
55  * <p>
56  * The Islamic <em>religious</em> calendar, however, is based on the <em>observation</em>
57  * of the crescent moon.  It is thus affected by the position at which the
58  * observations are made, seasonal variations in the time of sunset, the
59  * eccentricities of the moon's orbit, and even the weather at the observation
60  * site.  This makes it impossible to calculate in advance, and it causes the
61  * start of a month in the religious calendar to differ from the civil calendar
62  * by up to three days.
63  * <p>
64  * Using astronomical calculations for the position of the sun and moon, the
65  * moon's illumination, and other factors, it is possible to determine the start
66  * of a lunar month with a fairly high degree of certainty.  However, these
67  * calculations are extremely complicated and thus slow, so most algorithms,
68  * including the one used here, are only approximations of the true astronical
69  * calculations.  At present, the approximations used in this class are fairly
70  * simplistic; they will be improved in later versions of the code.
71  * <p>
72  * The {@link #setCivil setCivil} method determines
73  * which approach is used to determine the start of a month.  By default, the
74  * fixed-cycle civil calendar is used.  However, if <code>setCivil(false)</code>
75  * is called, an approximation of the true lunar calendar will be used.
