Hundreds of new images posted at exploratorium today,almost all of them repeats. Is this some sort of glitch at exploratorium or did Oppy actually download that many images.

Well - theres only so much imagery you can take sat in a dune - so I guess they can really dump out the flash - so they can do a lot of remote obs of the dune post-egress to try and identify the 'flavour' of dune that leads to this.

Kinda got ahead of themsleves, since they've already archived much of the data that just showed up. smile.gif

There was a reprocessing of data at JPL. Clearly some software at JPL got fooled into thinking things were new, and sent them out as such. I doubt Opportunity has enough flash for all that, let alone enough downlink capability (at least until MTO gets there ...).
