Pioneer 10

node

The first spacecraft through the asteroid belt and the first to reach Jupiter; last heard from in January 2003. Operated by NASA; launched 1972-03-02; 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.
