The system they were coming from was on the other side of the planet. A
fortunate coincidence for the Rebellion. At that point the Death Star orbited

reciting how long till the death star is in firing range and the distance number
on the display, however take into consideration that the Death Star was
accelerating around the planet and the numbers line up perfectly.)
No problem what good is all this “usless” knowledge if i can’t share.
