Finding the Qibla from Socorro
From Socorro you pray towards the north-east, at an angle of 64.7° from true north; the Kaaba is 12,093 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Socorro and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
