Calibrated Uranus spectrum

Loftus, NSW

It is easier to see the dips of the spectrum of Uranus (red) below the solar spectrum when they are calibrated against one another. The calibrated spectrum in green dips below 1 on the y-axis when there is absorption of sunlight by the atmosphere of Uranus, mainly from methane in the atmosphere.
