From then on, the pattern and intensity of the test fire followed almost to the second the pattern and intensity of the fire aboard Apollo 204 as reconstructed by scientists...
Although clues provided by 0237-23 may some day fit into a pattern, they have so far only added to the confusion about quasars.
