As noted by others, the title is mistaken; this is a spaceship, not a glider. (As explained in the Wikipedia article, "glider" refers to a specific 5-cell pattern discovered very early on.)

My understanding is that 2/133076755768 is the speed, in (number of cells translated) / (number of generations to repeat).
