1 beacon is a period-2 oscillator.

Commonness

1 beacon is about the thirty-second most common naturally-occurring oscillator in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being slightly less common than the cis-beacon up on long hook, approximately as common as the cis-beacon on cap, and more common than 20P2.[1]

Synthesis

In October 2014, Ivan Fomichev found an 8-glider synthesis for this pattern based on a soup from Adam P. Goucher's apgsearch script.[2] Tanner Jacobi later found a 7-glider synthesis.

gollark: C makes it quite easy to make particularly annoying and bad mistakes. With higher-level languages I can focus on cool™ higher-level mistakes.
gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: Anyway, people *are* capable of making mistakes without code being terribly formatted.
gollark: Impressive.
gollark: 10 "lines" or actually 10 lines?
