Explanation: Get out your red/blue glasses and gaze across a mountainous region informally known as Tartarus Dorsa. This scene sprawls some 300 kilometers (about 180 miles) across the Plutonian landscape. The color anaglyph creates a stereo view by combining parts of two images taken about 14 minutes apart during the New Horizons historic flyby of Pluto last July. Along with shadows near the terminator, or line between Pluto's dim day and night, the 3D perspective emphasizes the alignment of narrow, steep ridges. The region's remarkable bladed landforms typically extend 500 meters high and are 3 to 5 kilometers apart. Referring to a part of Hades in ancient Greek mythology, Tartarus Dorsa borders Tombaugh Regio to the east.

i find the idea amusing that welding shops just have a giant fucking granite slab big enough to be used as a brick for a modern pyramid that they use as just a level reference surface
that's any half-decent fabrication shop!
and they're EXPESNIVE to get resurfaced if you wear them down!!!!!
we use granite because it doesnt tend to warp or change shape much (HOPEFULLY)!!!
but those things are FLAT to within just a few millionths of an inch per foot, usually.
level surfaces are super important! they make sure your work is good!
but also its funny that it doesnt matter if the object is a 2 inch plate or a 10 foot frame. all will be judged by the slab.
the head from your shitty lawn mower that you just decked by eye on the shittiest mill with a pretty dull fly cutter????
TO. THE. SLAB.
If you'd like to know more about taking care of the your very expensive surface plate SLAB that every machine shop needs, here's Adam Booth:
gonna watch this and report back with what i learn because i like watching this kind of bullshit.
there are three main grades of slabs. grade B, grade A, and grade AA. grade B is good for being inside the actual workshop, grade A is good for final inspection and needs to be isolated, and grade AA is not fit for any mortal being.
a grade A slab can have a total flatness of 1/10th of 1/1000th of an inch. which for reference, is about 30x smaller than a human hair. they give you a slab certificate that details how flat your slab really is after they are done making the slab.
the bottom of the slab has three points that it rests on. these points were set at the factory before the slab was flattened, and these points should not be moved.
setting down your drink or your keys or whatever on the slab is like driving your car through a preschool building during business hours. the slab is for checking flatness, not recreational activities.
dust itself can change how flat the slab is. keep the slab covered when not in use. keep rugs or mats or something around the slab to help reduce dust being kicked up from walking around.
clean your slab before use to make sure it is flat. do not use water to clean the slab. water can soak into the slab and change how flat it is. isopropyl alcohol can work.
anything that gets put on the slab must be put on the slab with the delicate touch of an angel. do not injure the slab.
so yeah i think sex is forbidden on a grade A slab. maybe you can do that on grade B because that shit gets metal shavings all over it.
