Here is the neighborhood:
[0, 0, X, 0, 0]
[0, 0, X, 0, 0]
[X, X, X, X, X]
[0, 0, X, 0, 0]
[0, 0, X, 0, 0]
which contains a(1) = 9 ON cells.
The second and third generations are:
[0, 0, 0, 0, X, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, X, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[X, 0, X, 0, X, 0, X, 0, X] (again with 9 ON cells)
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
