Will be possible in the far future to create an artificial Moon for Earth and terraformed planets?

+0

Will be possible in the far future to use megascale engineering to create an artificial hollow moon to give Earth a big moon in the sky like in billion years ago? Since it would be hollow, it would not have surface gravity (this is what people say), so tides would not be a problem. Am I right?

If Mars and Venus get terraformed, they could have large moons as well.

But how big this artificial moon would look in order to appear 5 times bigger than our current moon? And how bright would it look if it have the same albedo as the real moon?
