B2FH sets out the synthesis of the elements in stars

node

Margaret Burbidge, Geoffrey Burbidge, William Fowler and Fred Hoyle published a 104-page review in Reviews of Modern Physics organising element production into a set of distinct nuclear processes operating in different stellar environments - hydrogen and helium burning, the alpha process, equilibrium burning to the iron peak, slow and rapid neutron capture, and others. It converted the origin of the elements from a cosmological puzzle into a problem in stellar physics, and its framework has been extended rather than replaced.

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