The term "black hole" enters use
node
The name is usually credited to John Wheeler, who used it in lectures and print from 1967 and did more than anyone to popularise it. The attribution is not clean: a 1964 report of a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science already uses the phrase, and Wheeler himself described adopting a term suggested from the audience rather than coining it. The record is included here as a dating problem rather than a settled fact, because the popular account routinely presents a single origin.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
