	This pattern is an oscillator.
	This pattern is periodic with period 8.
	This pattern runs in a non-standard rule (b2i34kqt5acekn6-k7s234cekrtwy5-ijnq6eik7c8).
	The population fluctuates between 28 and 64.
	This evolutionary sequence works in multiple rules, from b3-ys23-einy through to b2i34kqt5acekn6-k7s234cekrtwy5-ijnq6eik7c8.

I think the Hitchhiker badge may only consider C1 soups.

There is a badge known as "Hitchhiker" which required finding Kok's galaxy in a soup. (very easy to find with C4_1 symmetry) However, it seems that the badge can no longer be obtained since March 2018.

Unlike the 2015-9-10 comment, this is NOT nonsense.

KOK'S GALAXY is useful as a sparker, inducting inert material into oscillating. At one point, when it looks like a spiral galaxy, 4 sparks fly out that cause induction in certain objects, catalytically.
