In 1998 the moon occulted Venus and Jupiter at the same time.
This event was visible from the South Atlantic Ocean. The previous occultation of the 2 brightest planets by the moon happend in 567AD. There is no other known occurence.
The next "double" occultation will take place in 2056 with Mars and Mercury.
I made a shot of this phenomenon in my Gallery.
