var now = new Date(); help with this

can someone explain to me what var now = new Date(); is actualy doing

If you tried Google you would find many explanations. Such as
http://www.w3schools.com/jS/js_obj_date.asp

Or you could simply try it yourself:-

var now = new Date();
document.write(now);

This creates a new Date object named now.
Note: The Date object will automatically hold the current date and time as its initial value.

That object can be further interrogated. e.g:

var hours = now.getHours();
var minutes = now.getMinutes();
