Arrokoth
node
Small body · Kuiper belt. A cold-classical Kuiper belt contact binary, 36 km on its longest axis — the most distant body ever visited (New Horizons, 2019). No figure position: elements not importable in this run. (mean distance 44.6 au, orbital period 298 years, diameter 36 km; NASA New Horizons mission pages · JPL small-body database (486958 Arrokoth).) Not a place on Earth. Listed without a figure position: JPL small-body orbital elements were not importable in this environment, and no position is invented.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
