According to scientists and numerous reports, it’s hard for people to spot icebergs in the middle of the night. In fact, it’s well known that sometimes, the reflection of the moon on the ocean can cause “optical illusions,” or “mirages.” A lot of ships who have traveled through the area where the Titanic struck the iceberg had reported several occasions where they had seen mirages. Therefore, it could have prevented the Titanic’s crew from actually seeing, or believing, there was an iceberg ahead.

After doing immense research in the tragedy and the sinking of the Titanic, scientists uncovered that the moon’s cycle played a role in the icebergs. According to some, a full moon in January of 1912 caused tides which shifted a lot of icebergs to move south, in the direct path of the Titanic. Of course, the course was planned without the knowledge of such.
