Finding the Qibla from Lunas
In Lunas you pray towards the west, at an angle of 291.5° from true north; the Kaaba is 6,759 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Lunas and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Remember that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
