There is a new moon during the *daytime* and this occurs about every 29.53 days. The exact time and date will vary by location on the Earth.
For the new moon phase, the Moon is along the direct line between the Earth and the Sun, so that there is practically none of the illuminated surface visible from Earth.
In August, 2011, New Moon is the night of August 28th. Note that "New Moon" visually doesn't appear - there is no moon to seeon the night of "new moon".

It was a first quarter
A no moon night is called a new moon night because, during this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, making it largely invisible from our viewpoint. This alignment prevents sunlight from reflecting off the moon's surface, resulting in no visible illumination. The term "new moon" signifies the beginning of a new lunar cycle, marking the transition from darkness to the waxing phases of the moon.
