"The ice giants Uranus and Neptune are unusual planets in our solar system as their magnetic fields are misaligned with the axes in which they spin."

That's weird. I'm trying to imagine our magnetic fields being misaligned...

Another interesting comment...

"Continued study of Uranus’s aurora will provide data on what we can expect when Earth exhibits a future pole reversal and what that will mean for its magnetic field.”

The Uranian axis of rotation is approximately parallel to the plane of the Solar System, with an axial tilt of 97.77° (as defined by prograde rotation).

Uranus is essentially ‘rolling around’ the Sun.............

It’s not just the poles flipped.. it’s actually that the magnetic axis of the planet is different from the axis of rotation, by almost 60 degrees. So a compass on Uranus would point towards somewhere closer to the equator than to the north pole.
