The could be another opportunity for Kiwis to glimpse the aurora tonight.

Stargazers across New Zealand were treated last night to an incredible display of dazzling light across the southern skies. Chris Lynch Media was inundated with photos, documenting what for many could likely be a once-in-a-lifetime event.

With more clear skies expected tonight, many were hoping for another chance to capture the aurora.

Several space experts have indicated that the central and southern regions of the South Island were poised to witness aurora activity once again overnight.

However, residents in the northern regions of the North Island, including Auckland, were less likely to experience this celestial display.
