Michael Efroimsky proposes that the unique triaxial shape of Mars, marked by significant geographical features, may indicate the existence of a long-lost moon named Nerio.
Efroimsky's research indicates that a moon of considerable size could have influenced Mars' formation of its distinctive equatorial bulge, Tharsis, and impactful volcanic activity.
The theorized moon, Nerio, may have been destroyed by a collision, leading to the formation of Mars’ small and irregular moons, Phobos and Deimos.
Evidence supporting Nerio's existence hinges on further Martian exploration and data collection, which could unveil more about Mars' geological history.
