/** Finder for node crossing events.
 * <p>This class finds equator crossing events (i.e. ascending
 * or descending node crossing).</p>
 * <p>The default implementation behavior is to {@link Action#CONTINUE continue}
 * propagation at descending node crossing and to {@link Action#STOP stop} propagation
 * at ascending node crossing. This can be changed by calling
 * {@link #withHandler(EventHandler)} after construction.</p>
 * <p>Beware that node detection will fail for almost equatorial orbits. If
 * for example a node detector is used to trigger an {@link
 * org.orekit.forces.maneuvers.ImpulseManeuver ImpulseManeuver} and the maneuver
 * turn the orbit plane to equator, then the detector may completely fail just
 * after the maneuver has been performed! This is a real case that has been
 * encountered during validation ...</p>
