Dawn

node

The first spacecraft to orbit two extraterrestrial bodies — Vesta, then Ceres — on ion propulsion. Not a sample-return mission. Operated by NASA; launched 2007-09-27; 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.
