Precession of Earth's rotational axis

Precession of Earth’s rotational axis (The Earth's Wobble) takes approximately 26,000 years to make one complete revolution. Through each 26,000-year cycle, the direction in the sky to which the Earth’s axis points goes around a big circle. In other words, precession changes the “North Star” as seen from Earth. Nothing's fixed. Not even a fixed star.
