Moon May Have Had Role in Titanic Sinking

Leonardo DiCaprio's character in "Titanic," Jack Dawson, famously declared himself "king of the world" as the doomed ship sailed the high seas. Instead, Jack should have been howling in fury at the moon, which may have sent an iceberg right into the Titanic's path, according to new research.
Astronomers at Texas State University-San Marcos found that in January 1912, three months before the ship sank in the Atlantic and took more than 1,500 lives down with it, a perfect storm of astronomical events may have set the stage for the disaster.
