The first sixty Starlink satellites are deployed

node

A single Falcon 9 released sixty flat-packed satellites into low Earth orbit, beginning the deployment of the largest constellation ever built. The launch also began an argument that has not ended: astronomers reported immediately that the satellites were far brighter than expected and were contaminating wide-field observations, and the visibility of the deployment train made the scale of the plan legible to the public in a way that a filing never had.

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