Galileo takes a gravity assist at Venus

node

The first leg of a Venus–Earth–Earth assist chain that made a Jupiter orbiter possible on the launch energy available. Encounter class: gravity assist.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
