The sinking of the Titanic is one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century, a mystery that has kept scientists and historians headaches for decades.
Photos taken with modern technology by the team at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (USA) to clarify what happened on April 15, 1912 fate.
The photos are only part of the multimillion-dollar project to make a two-month journey, using a variety of methods to get an unprecedented look at the legendary ship.
The most comprehensive map of the sinking of the Titanic has just been completed when researchers assembled 130,000 images of underwater robots shooting at the bottom of the Atlantic. The map shows debris and parts of the ship scattered across the 15-square-mile area of the ocean floor.
Detailed images can provide clues about events after the luxury ship was considered ' unsinkable ' but hit the iceberg and sank on April 15, 1912, making more than 1,500 Of the 2,200 passengers and crew aboard the ship died. Titanic sank as soon as he made his first voyage from Southampton to the city. New York then became a legend.
A century after the disaster, scientists have found that the moon is the "culprit" that caused the shipwreck. The experienced captain Edward Smith did not seem to mind warning that there were many ice shelves in the area that the ship was passing.
The rare event that 'once in a lifetime ' happened on January 2, 1912, when the moon and the sun were in line, causing their gravity to strengthen each other. At the same time, the distance from the moon to the earth in January of that year was the shortest in 1,400 years, and the period of time at which this distance was minimal occurred only in 6 minutes when the full moon. In addition, the time when the earth was closest to the sun just happened the day before. These factors make the tidal force on Earth reach its maximum.
