Bricklayer

Bricklayer is a pattern that was constructed by David Bell on September 29, 2002. It builds two ever-lengthening diagonal lines of blocks starting at the bottom-left of the pattern.[1] It works by firing gliders in such as way as to perpetuate the lumps of muck reaction. It makes use of the glider reflector listed under pipsquirter 2.

The bricklayer laying two rows of blocks
gollark: Maybe just have the main bit be Pluto/Charon with the other bodies added in some small way.
gollark: The bident thing might work to reflect the whole "binary system" thing.
gollark: Maybe one of the symbols you suggested in the centre, with a ring/pentagon separated into five differently coloured bits to represent the moons.
gollark: Well, the pentagon can still work. The shape is Pluto, the points are the mööns.
gollark: So five objects in the system in total.
