May new moon 2021: See Mercury, Venus and Mars in the moonless evening sky
"The new moon occurs Tuesday (May 11) at 3 p.m. EDT (1900 GMT). That same day the moon reaches apogee, the furthest point from Earth in its orbit, and in the days afterward the young moon will pass by Mercury and Venus in the evening sky."
