plag
Deprecated
This method should be used <em>lechumra</em> only since it returns a very late time, and if used <em>lekula</em> can result in <em>chillul Shabbos</em> etc. There is no current plan to remove this method from the API, and this deprecation is intended to alert developers of the danger of using it.
This method should be used lechumra only and returns the time of plag hamincha according to the Magen Avraham with the day starting 72 minutes before sunrise and ending 72 minutes after sunset. This is calculated as 10.75 hours after dawn. The formula used is 10.75 shaahZmanis72Minutes after alos72. Since plag by this calculation can occur after sunset, it should only be used lechumra.
Return
the Date of the time of plag hamincha. If the calculation can't be computed such as in the Arctic Circle where there is at least one day a year where the sun does not rise, and one where it does not set, a null will be returned. See detailed explanation on top of the AstronomicalCalendar documentation.
