The circular pattern of the aurora should be at the same angle as the stripes on Jupiter, but they’re not.

The latidudinal angle is all wrong.

Perhaps the planet’s magnetic poles are offset from the angle of its rotation. That would explain it.

Earth is a bit out of plumb, too. TRUE North and Magnetic North are a number of degrees apart.

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

Like I said the picture isn’t from the equator on.
