58P8H4V0 is a period-8 c/2 orthogonal spaceship found by Charity Engine on February 24, 2022 , using apgsearch .[ 1] [ 2] It is the first period-8 spaceship to occur semi-naturally (i.e. in a symmetric random soup ).
Glider synthesis
A 53-glider synthesis for the spaceship was found the next day by Goldtiger997 and Mark Niemiec .[ 3] [ c 1]
A 51-glider synthesis was found in May 2022 by reducing the first two stages[ c 2] from 8 to 6 gliders,[ c 3]
quickly followed with a 50-glider synthesis by reducing third stage[ c 4] from 5 to 4 gliders.[ c 5]
A 47-glider synthesis was found in July 2022 by replacing the first four stages[ c 6] with an 11-glider recipe.[ c 7]
A 29-glider soup-based synthesis was found by KtT on December 10, 2024 ,[ 4] [ 5] and reduced to 25 gliders the same day by vilc .[ 6] [ 7]
