the north star is still there in that same exact spot. How is this possible

Because the stars are really, really, REALLY far away, and the motion isn't detectible without extremely precise instruments. But, over time, it moves. The North Star wasn't always our true north. Ancient Sumerian texts describe other stars, such as Sirius and Betelguese. Vega, the brightest star in Lyra the Harp will eventually become our North Star in about 13,000 years.

Did you know? There are Sumerian ceuniform tablets that describe not only past, previous north stars, but describe ALL of them (as in, when they repeat), around one full rotation around the galactic core? ANCIENT knowledge.

Do you guys have any other arguments other than "it dun non gun nebber make sense to me"??
