In some ways the theory lends some explanation to the previosly dicovered "mass-cons", concentrations of mass or metals large enough affect sensors of sattilites passing over.
Several of these gravity anomalys have been found on the moon.

there is some speculation that the great rift on mars is due to a collision with a moon or small planet. directly opposite the the rift are the huge volcanoes. so it may be that a liquid planetary core could be pushed off-center by such a collision, if that is what actually happened.
