The Pole Star once was Thuban (3000 B.C.), the third star from the end of the tail in Draco.

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.
