Seriously. A "moon" is anything natural, like not a man made object, that orbits a planet.
Jupiter's got 63 of them... as small as 1 kilometer in size.

Were there any external rockets to move it into position for firing? How did it move about?

If I were working on one side of the Death Star, and the emperor and Darth were on the other side, I would never want to leave "my side."

Have to be a pretty damn quick shuttle. Lets say the moon is 6781 miles and the you have a rail system that goes, lets say twice as fast as the fastest rail system today(around 300 mph), it would still take your arse 12 hours to get to the other side Or 6 hours to go straight through
Dude, they can travel at light speed.
You don't think they can get across that bitch quickly if there are no Cheetos in the breakroom closest to them?

36 million crew members? luke skywalker is a mass murderer.

If the was an attempt at sarcasm, then you need lessons in it.

why didnt luke and the rebels enter the trench much closer to the port? there wasnt a covering over it, they could have ducked in there right near it

If the Rebels attacked the Death Star directly they would have exposed themselves to the full concentration of the ion cannons. They had to approach through the relatively undefended trench to avoid the big guns.
And it's more dramatic.

Thanks Gilbert!!

So could the Death Star move at light speed? It just doesn't look like it would be capable.

Seems like you'd be pulling a ton of G's going at light speed. Wonder how they put up with that?

Hyperspace travel does not actually involve acceleration of an object but rather a shift to an alternate dimension via the hyperdrive. In this adjacent dimension, distances are much shorter and normal rules of physics no longer apply.

Thats what I thought originally. but I thought I'd ask anyway

Actually it involves likes of streaky lights where the stars used to be and incredibly complex engine parts that can be fixed by a wookie with a soldering iron.
But I can see how you would make that mistake.

My question is: why did Han think it was a small moon in the first place? If it were a moon, wouldnt they see a bigass planet around which it was revolving?

Han assumed that it was a surviving moon of Alderaan.
