Today (April 15) is the 112th anniversary of the RMS Titanic sinking. After more than a century, there are still unanswered questions surrounding how tragedy unfolded for the 'unsinkable' boat. Here, MailOnline looks into the remaining mysteries of the Titanic, which we may never know the answer to, including what happened to the passengers and whether an iceberg really caused the disaster.

It was a clear, starry sky above the Titanic as it struck an iceberg in the night of April 14, 1912. Passengers who survived the tragedy told of a beautiful, cloudless night, with some even claiming they spent their final moments on deck before boarding a lifeboat discussing the brightness of the stars. Crew on night watch on a 90ft-high vantage point faced the same sky above them, but when they looked to the horizon, it was obscured by an optical illusion. The haze lingering over the calm, icy waters hid the massive iceberg which sealed the Titanic's fate and sunk the 'unsinkable' ship in the early hours of April 15, 1912. A freak weather event created the phenomenon, which possibly both obscured the iceberg until it was too late and hindered communication with a nearby ship, according to a new theory.
