the year 14000

HI,

Was playing around on stellarium and for anyone bellow latitude 27 deg S, Sirius will be a circumpolar star in 14000, my how the heavens change, also Rigil Kent will no longer be a double. And by 25000 AD, crux will no longer be a cross.

Pretty interesting i recon.
Josh

I played with Stellarium as well at that time and Vega is only 4 degrees from the North Pole so not visible from AU and Canopus only 8 degrees from the South pole, thus circumpolar as far north as Bali (and the whole of AU of course). Orion is a winter constellation, but not on the equator anymore but about 45 south. Rigel is circumpolar in New Zealand. 4

I guess by 14,000 AD We wont be able to see the any star at all from extreme light/environmental pollution, can't imagine what will be human population be then. Otherwise there may be complete night darkness as there wont be any left to burn.

They seem to drift apart, or maybe it just looks like that from our position. Do they really drift apart with respect to each other, as so many other objects appear to do?
