C#
//Create EagerLoading object to load only solar cycle data for maximum efficiency.
EagerLoad el = new EagerLoad(EagerLoadType.Celestial);
el.Extensions = new EagerLoad_Extensions(EagerLoad_ExtensionsType.Solar_Cycle);

//Create a Celestial object the calculates from Seattle's signed lat/long on
//19-Mar-2019 (UTC) Date. Seattle is -7 UTC on this date.
Celestial cel = new Celestial(47.60357, -122.32945, new DateTime(2019, 3, 19), -7, el);

//Check if a sunset will occur on the specified day.
if(cel.SunSet.HasValue)
{
    Console.WriteLine(cel.SunSet.Value); //3/19/2019 7:20:56 PM
