Voyager 2 passes Saturn and continues towards Uranus

node

With Titan already surveyed by Voyager 1, Voyager 2's Saturn pass could be shaped purely for onward travel. The encounter resolved the rings into thousands of ringlets and found structures — braids, spokes and shepherd moons — that existing ring dynamics did not predict. The gravity assist set the spacecraft on the four-and-a-half-year cruise to Uranus.

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