Stable pattern

The stable pattern that results from the two-glider mess has 72 cells and consists of eight blinkers (including one traffic light), four gliders, four blocks, one beehive and one ship. Two of the blocks, two of the gliders, and the ship are the standard signature ash of a Herschel.

Generation 530
