heres how we found halo:
a human planet was under attack, it wasn't glassed (atmosphere and oceans vapourised by shooting from space) like normal planets because it had a forerunner object. The covies tried to scan it and send what it said into space. Capt Keyes ship (before the PoA, can't remember the name) interecepted it. Cortana remembered what it said.
When Reach was attacked, the PoA was forced to make a blind jump, but Cortana subcoinsciously plotted the coordinates of Halo instead of a random escape vector. The Covies saw the hole in space, followed it, and as they were much faster, were waiting for the PoA when it arrived. I guess they weren't more than a few days ahead.
Edit: fixed spelling mistakes
