Toaster (or lightweight volcano) is a period-5 oscillator that was found by Dean Hickerson in April 1992 that produces sparks much like a lightweight spaceship on its left and right sides. A minimal change can be done to change its symmetry type.
A stator variant of this oscillator appeared semi-naturally in April 2018, in a symmetric soup submitted to Catagolue by Apple Bottom.[1]
