A boilerplate page about one of 17-cell still lives, consisting of information that is either directly available or easy to derive from current Catagolue data. This was originally a deletion tag, but it ranks #2 in 17-cell still lifes.
It is the 118th most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than big S with tub but more common than crinkly heptomino with hooked tail. It is the 2nd most common still life with 17 cells, being less common than twin hat but more common than cis-loaf on dock.

Glider synthesis
All strict still lifes with a population of 22 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.
