I love it. it feels like Polaris will be there long after this rock is barren and cold, and we can continue to navigate by it in the gay space communism

fwiw it'll at least stop being the north star in some thousand years (might be longer), which is arguably even more fucked to think about

like, people in the past had a different north star, what the fuck

Apparently the star is going to fizzle out soon, but beside that, if you are not on earth it becomes irrelevant for navigation.
