The p59 glider shuttle is a period-59 oscillator discovered by Nico Brown on November 18, 2022. It consists of four copies of a p59 dependent reflector. The oscillator can be described as a honey farm hassler, as in some phases the active part consists of four copies of a honey farm sequence.

Glider synthesis

Chris857 found a 141-glider synthesis of the oscillator on June 23, 2023.

The dependent reflector

Matthias Merzenich used the p59 dependent reflector to reduce the smallest known true period 59 glider gun from a 14592-cell bounding box to a 11782-cell bounding box, as shown below.
