Yes, the magnetic pole is different than the north pole. It is different on earth as illustrated in this diagram.

“Yes, the magnetic pole is different than the north pole. It is different on earth...”

Yes, I’m aware that Earth’s magnetic north differs from its true north, and assumed that’s true for many other planets.

It makes sense that the aurora on Jupiter would conform to the field lines of its magnetic field.

Thanks for the image.
