>but what if the Moon is actually light shining through a hole in the firmament?
In that case, for different observers the Moon would appear to be ovular, rather than circular. And how does this hole slide across the firmament?
Furthermore, we know the Moon gets closer and further away periodically over time. And we know it passes over the sun. How does that make sense at all? And how does a HOLE block light from the sun?

You can make it all work, but in the end you'll have to make assumptions which make the flat earth idea far more complicated and convoluted than the round earth model

No it isn't.

For the diagram above (>>9330709) you have two states for the S-type planet

A: Planet between the stars: no night, just red day or blue day, and the blue star might make the sky blue enough that you could have difficulties seeing the moons

B: Planet not between the two stars, you would get a red day, perhaps some blue light at dusk or dawn and you would be able to see moon(s) in L4 or L5 but not both. If the moons are very reflective you could see all moons during the day.

With moons in Lagrangian points you would not see them at night. For that you would need a moon orbiting the planet which is unrealistic if you have a bound orbit around a red dwarf star which has a small Goldilocks zone close to the star. So you might want a red star larger than a dwarf.

Fun fact: our moon has a surface as reflective as asphalt.

It might be easier to give you help if you tell us more what you need from the constellation.

I am surprised there is so much turbulence both in summer (somewhat expected) and winter (not expected).

>libration thingo
Yes. Pic. related: it really twists and turns.

You can do this at home

good question

>>5441069
Yes, but why would you use materials from earth to make solar panels on the moon?

>>the Earth would never rise or set to an observer on the moon.
The moon librates a bit, so it could occur:
