Any digital camera or Photoshop user will, in time, become familiar with the histogram. It is simply a graph of the distribution of brightness of pixels in an image. A good rule of thumb is that the histogram should touch on the left and right without clipping and that it should peak near the middle. I think this is as good as any an example of an exception to that rule.
Remember that a photograph is for conveying a feeling evoked by something you saw. Night should look like night. If this image were brightened up it would feel totally different.
