Space rake is a period 20 forward glider rake constructed no later than 1971 ,[1] probably by Bill Gosper ; it was the first known rake. It consists of an ecologist with a lightweight spaceship added to turn its dying debris into gliders.
Note that if the back lightweight spaceship is flipped vertically and moved down by one cell , then this becomes a period 20 backward glider rake, as shown below.[2]
