    Simultaneous occultations of 2 planets by the Moon

    Frequently the Moon occults a planet and the phenomenon is visible from a big part of a hemisphere. Very rarely happens that 2 planets are contemporarily hidden. The last case in the 2000. www.pierpaoloricci.it/dati/doppieoccpia_eng.htm

    Nice find ricci.  I can't believe we are going to have to wait till 2037 to see it happen again.
