Is the North Star always in the same place in the night sky?

Well, honey, the North Star, also known as Polaris, is nearly fixed in the sky due to its alignment with Earth's axis. But don't get too comfy thinking it never moves, 'cause over a looong time, it does drift - just like that annoying relative who overstays their welcome at every family gathering. So, yeah, it ain't going anywhere fast, but it's got some wanderlust deep down.
