Peter,

The new moon for April 2011 falls April 3 at 14:32 Universal Time. At this time, the new moon passes about 4 degrees north of the sun, though the exact amount depends on where you live on the surface of the globe. The moon’s setting time (relative to the sun) also depends on where you live. Check out the links at our almanac page at http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/sunrisesunset-moonrisemoonset-almanacs.
