The Valera Cross is a fourfold symmetric pattern that evolves into four stable beacons and emits eight gliders in perfect symmetry.
Discovered by Karpinchik Valera (known as @.val386) in November 2025 on playgameoflife.com.
It represents a rare type of self-destroying glider emitter, combining oscillatory and explosive behavior.

Final stage: 4 beacons and 8 gliders emitted symmetrically.

Welcome to the forums!
Read the forum rules before you post anything. (perhaps we should make it visible or compulsory for every newcomers to read it?)
It states that

If you decide to share your discovery with the forums, please do not post an image of the pattern. Instead, post the RLE code of the pattern within "pattern" tags. The easiest way to obtain the RLE code of a pattern is to select the pattern in Golly and then copy it to your clipboard.

playgameoflife.com is discouraged here due to lack of many basic functionalities.

Also,

Some specific examples of discoveries that won't be of interest to this community include:

a. A new still life.
b. A methuselah that lasts fewer than 20,000 generations or is larger than a 20-by-20 box.
c. An alternate stabilization for a reaction (unless it is smaller than the smallest currently known).

A methuselah is indeed aesthetically pleasing but isn't worthy of post, unfortunately. It's a lot easier to make discoveries in OCA (other cellular automata), especially chaotic (but not explosive or stable) isotropic non-totalistic rules with B2ce or B3ai. Even then, try to find spaceships, oscillators, catalysts, guns or rakes instead of methuselahs.

EDIT:
Here's the RLE of the pattern:

Code: Select all

x = 23, y = 23, rule = B3/S23

You can copy it to Golly or click SHOW IN VIEWER to see and run it.
It has lifespan of 207, not impressive considering those much high records in list of long-lived methuselahs.
