Waterbear is an oblique spaceship discovered by Brett Berger on December 28, 2014.[1] It is the smallest (in terms of bounding box) known oblique spaceship, superseding parallel HBK. It is also the first discovered "fast" oblique spaceship in Conway's Game of Life.
The helix, fanout devices and syntheses for the helix were found by Ivan Fomichev.
