The video you just showed would have the moon rising in the west and setting in the east. Do you have a video that the moon would rise in the east and set in the west while the shadow goes from west to east.
I’m still waiting for NASA to explain why the 2017 solar eclipse started on the west coast and 4 hours later ended on the east coast. Even though Sun and Moon rises in the East and sets in the West. The only answer I could find from NASA was that the moon travels around the earth twice as fast as the earth spins
You need to consider the speed and behaviour of the Moon's shadow, not the Moon. The core point is that the Moon moves in a circle around the Earth's centre completing that circle slower than a single Earth rotation, but the shadow does not move like this.
Think about how the shadow is cast by the Sun, and what its behaviour will be as the Moon moves in a circle.
I have my doubts that the big world model and layout will be solved with this generation of FE. The Zetetic societies have been arguing over Monopole vs Bi-Polar vs Other models since at least the early 1900's. What is possible, what to trust, all valid and endless questions.
Every generation of FE seems to have contributed something towards Flat Earth Theory. Our main contribution will likely be the celestial model. With correct basics to the celestial model it might even be possible to derive the world model, independent of arguments about jet streams, routes, Antarctic travel restrictions, and such. An important milestone which unlocks the rest.
From the article:
Recent studies carried out by international teams of astronomers are reveling that the Universe may not have the size we currently attribute to it. At this point, it is difficult to say whether it's actually smaller or bigger than existing mathematical calculations show.
Sounds like they are saying that they don't really know to me. I trust Professor Barmby and this article over a comment on an internet forum who claims that it is known.
"Difficult to say" = Lack of knowledge
I fail to see where you have pointed out in the article where they do claim to know. Professor Barmby makes a fairly direct statement about their problems and the lack of confidence. Arguing that there is other knowledge elsewhere that proves it, without demonstration, is a very weak argument. Arguing that there is a quote which says that the current size might not be wrong, is also a very weak argument. Professor Barmby says directly that they don't know. Why should we trust you over direct statements from an authority on this matter?

If it is midnight for the observer then I don't see how the observer can see something on the day side of the Earth.
1 By virtue of the fact that the Moon is approx 70 degrees through the first quarter of its cycle, so only 20 degrees away from being AT the border between day and night side;
2 By virtue of the Moon having passed an ascending node, placing it above the plane of the Earth and Sun;
3 By virtue of the axial tilt of the Earth pointing toward the Sun (but not directly at it);
4 By virtue of the observation position, already at 52 degrees North, being moved further toward the Sun by the axial tilt
5 By virtue of the fact that midnight is not exactly at the midpoint between sunset and sunrise, placing it closer to the Moon's side of the Earth
All illustrated in the 3D models labelled above. Let me know when you've examined all of them.
I've already shown you why it doesn't work at Solar Midnight.
As you are conceding that it's not possible at Solar Midnight ...
Now tell us how it is possible that some people have seen the crescent moon at midnight: https://savageplane.wordpress.com/2019/02/13/impossible-heliocentric-moon-phases-explained/
If the Earth shrunken to half it's size, with Blunham at the edge rather than the equator, the Moon will still be below the horizon.
I've examined your argument. You are now drifting to a "not exactly solar midnight" argument, apparently conceding that my argument was correct. Solar Midnight often occurs within an hour of UTC midnight. Find out when Solar Midnight occurs and you will find that the Moon is above the horizon on that night, at that time, for that location.

This is what you posted:

This is how we see on an RE:
Our range of vision is a plane resting on a sphere. Your lines assume that the Earth is flat, and cut through a Round Earth.
If this were a physical globe
and if we took a plane, and held it up to the globe, would is be possible to get the horizon in the correct positions for what is supposed to be midnight for the observer?
Tilting the plane to the West would mess up the opposite side.
If it is midnight, the midway point should intersect the middle of the plane.
The only allowance for tilting should be a North-South tilt due to the tilt of the Earth.
Once again you are merely drawing lines through the Earth's curvature, without regard to what the observer should be able to see.
Put a plane on the surface of the earth to represent the observer's field of vision, rather than drawing arbitrary lines through the earth.
All scientists agree with this.
Tunemi, you just drew a line on the Earth and claimed that the observer could see the Moon behind the Earth's curvature over there. What is the difference between doing that and drawing a line over the North Pole and claiming that the observer can see the Moon on the opposite side of the Earth?
You need to figure out if the observer can actually see behind the Earth's curvature, not draw a line.
The argument you are putting fourth appears to be insufficient. We can also see that your observer's night horizon at Midnight is taking up more than a straight line 180 degree range from a top down view of that city, meaning that you are once again claiming that nights are longer after the March Equinox.
Clarify, please
