The North Star, our trusty cosmic guide, is changing—and scientists are paying close attention! For centuries, Polaris has helped travelers and sailors find their way, but now it’s shifting, pulsing, and even getting brighter. This is because it’s a Cepheid variable star, meaning it naturally expands and contracts over time. But here’s the twist: some experts think these changes might be happening faster than expected. If Polaris keeps evolving, it could eventually lose its status as the ultimate navigation star. So, while it’s still shining bright for now, the night sky might look a little different in the future!
