What this time means
The listed instant is the exact phase alignment, not an all-day event. The Moon may look nearly dark moon before and after it. Local civil dates can differ near midnight, which is why precise times use UTC.
Planning to observe
A New Moon is normally invisible in the Sun’s glare. The darker sky around it is valuable for deep-sky observing; look for the young crescent on subsequent evenings.
