In a little more than 5,000 years from now, Alderamin, the brightest star in the constellation Cepheus, will be almost the Pole Star. About 7,000 years from now, Deneb, the brightest star in Cygnus, will be the pretender for the Pole Star for a while. In about 12,000 years from now, Vega, the brightest star in Lyra, will be the Pole Star. Vega will be a brilliant Pole Star some six times brighter than Polaris. There are long periods when there is no Pole Star at all. At the present time there is no Pole Star in the southern sky. Self - belief is the most potent force.

So now depending on the distance of the orbit it travels, I guess there is a change in position of almost all stars. So the stars that pose as Pole star will keep changing over a period of time. Have I got my facts right?
