Cassini–Huygens

node

Thirteen years in orbit at Saturn, carrying ESA’s Huygens probe to the only landing ever made on an outer-system moon. Operated by NASA; launched 1997-10-15; completed. Encounter dates are the operator’s mission record; the encounter order is an order, not a trajectory, and Atlas draws no path for it.

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