12hours _________________ June 21 is around the time of the solstice, not the equinox. This marks the beginning of winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and the beginning of summer in the north. How long the sun is up for any individual will depend on the individual's latitude. On this date an observer at the north pole is experiencing non-stop daylight, and an observer at the south pole is in the middle of the long winter night.

on the earth that you're interested in. The answer changes every 30 miles or so.
At the south pole, the sun didn't rise at all on September 15th. In fact, there hadn't been
a sunrise in the previous 85 days, and there wouldn't be one for another week.
It makes a big difference where you're talking about.

Does it get darker than astronomical twilight in London England on nights near the June solstice?
Wikipedia sez: "Astronomical twilight is defined to begin in the morning, and to end in the evening when the center of the Sun is geometrically 18 degrees below the horizon." London, England is at 51 degrees north latitude. At midnight in the June Solstice, the Sun is at a declination of 23.5 degrees (approximately), so the over-the-pole angular distance is (90-51) + (90-23.5) degrees, or 105 degrees. The horizon is 90 degrees, so the Sun is 15 degrees below the northern horizon at midnight on June 21. So, no, it won't meet the definition for "darker than astronomical twilight".
