Most people don't know this. I'm impressed.
Our next "North Star" will be Gamma Cephei (A.K.A. Alrai) and after that it will be Alpha Lyrae (Vega - pronounced VEE-GAH, not "VAY-GAH"), then finally back to Alpha Ursae Minoris (Polaris).
Also, since the earth rotates faster than the moon orbits it, it adds orbital energy to the moon via tidal coupling, causing it to slowly move away from the earth (and also slows down the rotation of the earth).
In eons to come, the moon will have moved so far out, and the earth slowed so much, that the moon will be in a geosynchronous orbit and appear in one spot in the sky (albeit tracing out a small figure 8 pattern).
Our dust will be dust by then.......
