Melusine (or fuse with two tails) is a 10-cell still life.
While sometimes referred to as trans-fuse with two tails, this distinction is slightly misleading, as there is no way to connect two tails to a "fuse" of length 2 in cis arrangement. The closest alternative, welding the two tails, yields a boat.
Occurrence
- See also: List of common still lifes
It is the fifth rarest 10-cell still life out of 25. It is about 45 times as common as the long fuse with two tails.
Glider synthesis
All strict still lifes with a population of 21 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 31 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
