Apollo 13 oxygen tank 2 ruptures

node

About 56 hours into the flight and some 320,000 km from Earth, oxygen tank 2 in the service module ruptured, venting the command module's oxygen supply and its power. The landing was abandoned and the crew moved into the Lunar Module.

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