The Sun forms and settles onto the main sequence

node

A region of a molecular cloud collapsed, passed through a protostellar phase and reached the core temperature at which the proton-proton chain supplies the entire radiated luminosity. The age is inferred chiefly from radiometric dating of the oldest solar-system solids rather than from observation of the Sun itself, and the figure is usually quoted as about 4.6 billion years with the calcium-aluminium-rich inclusions in meteorites providing the anchor.

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