PALM DESERT - During the past month we've been treated to a sort of "twilight tango" between the two brightest planets, venus and jupiter, in the western night sky. 

Like two ships passing in the night, they have spent the last several weeks first approaching each other. They're now going their own separate ways after their spectacular mid-March tryst. 

But one last event is still to occur and will be spread across two nights, this Sunday (March 25) and Monday (March 26).

Venus and Jupiter will pass the moon making for a speculator scene.
