"Three and a half years later [1989] Voyager found that Neptune's magnetic field is tilted by 47 degrees, and comparable in strength to Earth's. Clearly this large tilt is normal for planets of this size and makeup. What is astonishing however was that Neptune's field was found to be offset from the planet's centre by over half the radius of the Planet! This means that the source of the field lies closer to the surface of Neptune than to its centre." (ASTRONOMY & SPACE) This article examines the vast amount of data obtained by Voyager 2 during its flyby of Neptune.
