This proves that Neptune does indeed have an ever dynamic atmosphere, with changes in temperature and extremely fast wind speeds. Neptune's thick atmosphere is mostly hydrogen, with smaller amounts of helium and methane. It is the absorption of red light by methane which gives Neptune its very blue coloration. Like Jupiter and Saturn, Neptune radiates more heat than it receives. Therefore, it has an immense internal heat source.
