	That's interesting. I hadn't really noticed that but you're right.
However, since we know that the viewscreen can be rotated around in a full
circle, looking front to side to back to other side and front again, as
long as the planet on the screen didn't appear to be rotating "away" or
"towards" the viewer, we could assume that the screen was looking out the
side toward the planet. No?
