Pioneer 10 passes Jupiter — the first spacecraft to reach the outer Solar System

node

Crossed the asteroid belt intact and passed Jupiter at about 130,000 km, returning the first close images of the planet. Encounter class: flyby.

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