Pioneer 11 passes Saturn — the first spacecraft to reach it

node

Threaded the ring plane at about 21,000 km from the cloud tops, proving the passage Voyager would take a year later. 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.
