Space/Science » in reply to How many unique images should we expect?

Many of those duplicate images are different colors.

Many of those "duplicate" images are actually different colors of the same observation. The raw data appears as a grayscale image but it was originally shot through a different color filter on Huygens. As mentioned below, many of Huygens' images were lost due to a programming error (Huygen's successfully sent data on both of its transmission channels but Cassini was listening on only one channel).

Our glass is half full.
