A negative spaceship is a type of signal traveling through a periodic agar such as zebra stripes, and thus comparable to a spaceship. The leading edge of the signal removes the agar, and the trailing edge rebuilds the agar some time later. The distance between the two edges is sometimes adjustable, as shown in lightspeed bubble. The central part of the "spaceship" may consist of dying sparks or even simple empty space.
Below is a sample period-5 negative spaceship, found by Hartmut Holzwart in March 2007, travelling to the left at the speed of light:
