Keyframe sun / moon size would be good, just thought something wasn't quite right with the videos posted.
No worries, a request for a way to artificially change the sun/moon size is a perfectly valid idea (as was also suggested by some users in the thread I posted a link to). I guess I misunderstood your first post and thought you wanted us to make the sun larger near the horizon based on the rather dubious 19th century quote from
The Flat Earth Society 
Can I add keyframing and positioning of 3d lightening? that would be a cool effect! (I actually did a search for this
)
Thanks for your +1 for the ability to keyframe animate spotlight properties (this has also been requested before).
TIP: You can already animate the position/rotation of spotlights via the
Basic Animation or
Advanced Animation effects - just make sure that the shadows are dynamically updated:
Select light -> Edit properties -> Shadow cache -> Off (The downside is that this is slower to render than if you choose static shadows via the
128/256/512 buttons).
