Michael Efroimsky , an astronomer at the US Naval Observatory in Washington DC , says Mars may have once had a much larger moon.
A hypothetical moon, which has been called Nerio , could have altered the shape of Mars with its gravity.
It could have raised tides in magma oceans a bit like how Earth 's moon raises tides in our oceans.
Mars has some of the most extreme terrain in our solar system including the largest canyon and tallest mountain.
