Excellent hack, for at least 2 reasons: the feature itself, and showing us the
way how to enhance the agenda... Thanks a lot.

Because of this:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
    (setq org-agenda-default-appointment-duration 60)
#+end_src

I get:

i.e, a not-that-clear indication of when the sunrise/sunset is supposed to
happen.

In this case, it's clearly a one-minute event. Is there, then, a way to avoid
the "+ 1 hour" range computation for it, while keeping the above variable for
other common tasks?

Best regards,
