Karel's p177
Karel's p177 (or 104P177) is a period-177 oscillator discovered by Karel Suhajda in June 2007.[1] In terms of its minimum population of 104 cells, it is the smallest known period 177 oscillator. It can serve as a 90° or 180° degree reflector in many ways, and with the correct phasing, a glider can pass through it unharmed. On March 21, 2009 Jason Summers found a 24-glider synthesis of this oscillator.[2]

The first known semi-natural appearance of this oscillator was in December 2014, in a symmetric soup found by Dongook Lee using apgsearch.[3]

gollark: I mean, great for power generation, but not good for actually storing ordered matter.
gollark: Aren't black holes kind of bad for storage?
gollark: <@197364095593349120> Well, probably.
gollark: A few recipes need them.
gollark: Not really.
