Future North Star Seen in the East

From Starryskies.com:

Vega will one day be our North Star. A slight wobble in Earth's daily rotation causes our north pole to trace a circle among the stars every 26,000 years. This motion is called precession and it causes the pole to point at different stars over this 26,000 year period. During the time of when the pyramids were built in ancient Egypt, the star Thuban in Draco was the north star. In about 12,000 AD, the Earth's north pole will point at Vega.

High in the eastern sky after dark is a small constellation shaped like a parallelogram. This is Lyra and it is easily found by locating its brightest star, Vega.

It will certainly make aligning telescopes easier.

LOL. I'm not so sure the alignment will be made easier. At best Vega will still be 2 degrees from the pole, unlike Polaris which is currently about 38 arcminutes away and will eventually get down to 27 arcminutes in 2100 AD. We'll just have to wait 12,000 years (14,000 AD) to test that alignment theory.
