Comparison between Atmospheres of Neptune and Uranus

This is the comparison of the spectra of the two last planets of our solar system, Neptune and Uranus. Uranus is still very low in the eastern horizon these days but i tried it anyway, almost at the end of the night sky.

Look at these two lines on the graph. Blue represents Neptune and the green is of Uranus. They match so closely, indicating that the chemical composition of these atmospheres are so closely related.
