In this episode of Nature Revisited, Leigh Ann invites us to reset our relationship with the night and open our eyes and minds to a parallel world that comes alive in darkness. From the physiological effects of the absence of light itself, to the vast, surprising array of nocturnal organisms that transform our surroundings, when we rediscover night, dazzling wonders can be found in our own backyards.
