You can see how the blue star Vega smoothly move relative to other stars during 2 million years. Throughout the video, Vega is in the center of the screen.
We see that 470 thousand years ago, an optical merge of yellow Capella and red Aldebaran could be observed in the sky near Vega. There is another video on this topic: Capella Met Aldebaran 470 Thousand Years Ago.
Vega is currently located in the constellation Lyra.
In about 273 thousand years, Vega will pass at a distance of 3.84 parsecs from the Sun and will shine as brightly as Sirius currently shines.
In 320-360 thousand years, Vega will pass through the beautiful Perseus constellation.
Also note that Vega will fly by 550 thousand years later against the background of the scattered Hyades cluster. The movement of the Hyades cluster is viewed in detail in the following two videos:
Hyades Flew Near us 800 Thousand Years Ago
Hyades Flew Near us 800 Thousand Years Ago (No Comments and No Stops)
Finally, after one million years, Vega will be in the Orion constellation, which will be greatly distorted during this time.
The video was made using own software. Information about the stars is taken from the Hipparcos catalogue.
The track ‘Heartbeat of the Hood’ by Doug Maxwell/Media Right Productions sounds in this video.
