The p24 shuttle is a period-24 shuttle oscillator consisting of four blocks hassling two R-bees and a beacon. It was found by Karel Suhajda and Gabriel Nivasch on October 17, 2002. A 15-glider synthesis of this oscillator was found by Jason Summers in January 2004.^[1] It first appeared semi-naturally in April 2016.^[2] GUYTU6J reduced this to 13 gliders on March 16, 2020.^[3]
