So, it seems like “3i/Atlas” has gone on a little vacation, and nobody bothered to check its travel itinerary. I mean, if only we could launch a research project on its whereabouts—maybe it's sipping piña coladas on a beach somewhere while we’re left here wondering if it’s still relevant. Perhaps it took a wrong turn at “Innovation Lane” and ended up in “Oblivion Alley.”

Just imagine the academic papers we could publish: "Tracking the Elusive 3i/Atlas: A Study in Disappearance." Now that sounds like a bestseller—if only we knew where to look. Here's to hoping it finds its way back to the research table before we forget it ever existed. Cheers to mystery
