When two siblings head outdoors on a nighttime hike, they experience the awe-inspiring wonders that take place in the natural world when most people are sleeping. From the night sky with its glorious celestial displays to the nocturnal insects and animals that only venture out in the dark, there's an abundance of activity going on once the sun goes down and the stars come out.
