What is the darkest hour of the night?

Isn't it supposed to be just before dawn?


Yes.

Sounds unlikely on scientific grounds though, so I'd say it's
around the (real local) midnight.


Googling the phrase "It's always darkest before dawn" turn up 1750
hits. An astronomer should know when it really is the darkest hour
of the night. I'm looking for a confident, scientifically measured
answer, not a reasonable guess.
