The saying "darkest before dawn" gets absolutely demolished by actual astronomy! The diagram shows night darkness peaks at astronomical midnight (when the sun is directly opposite your location), not before sunrise. That inspirational quote is scientifically inaccurate garbage—darkness follows a predictable curve based on solar angle below the horizon. Nautical, civil, and astronomical twilight are precisely defined by degrees (6°, 12°, 18°). Next time someone tries to comfort you with that phrase, just show them this diagram and watch their existential crisis unfold in real-time.
