Vega is the second brightest star of the northern hemisphere. It is the first star, Alpha Lyrae, in the constellation of the Lyre. A very white star, with hydrogen dominant in it, its parallax is 0.082 seconds, and it has a brilliancy equal to that of 100 suns. It will be the Pole Star between AD 15,000 and 16,000.
