"""Example: Provider Comparison and Accuracy Verification
This example compares Navy API and Skyfield providers side-by-side:
- Accuracy comparison (time differences)
- Performance benchmarks
- Feature availability
This demonstrates that both providers produce nearly identical results
with Skyfield being significantly faster.
Setup:

Use HYBRID mode for best results:
celestial.yaml:
default_provider: navy_api
providers:
moon_phases: skyfield # 28x faster
earth_seasons: skyfield # 33x faster
sun_moon_data: navy_api # Only option
solar_eclipse_date: navy_api
solar_eclipse_year: navy_api
Benefits:
✓ Fast performance for common queries
✓ Full functionality
✓ Partial offline capability
✓ Best of both providers!
