Vega
  • The fifth brightest star in the sky is named
    Vega (Arabic for "stone eagle"), and is located
    within the Lira constellation.
  • Vega actually used to be regarded as the "North
    Star" 14,000 years ago. Due to the constant shift
    of the heavens, though, the star Polaris is now
    the North Star. Not to worry -- Vega will return
    to its position as the North Star another 12,000
    years from now.
