Jason: I wonder what's for dinner. I wonder what was for dinner. See that bright star directly overhead, Peter? That's vega, the harp star. It's in the constellation lyra. It's 27 light years away. That's like 159,000,000,000,000 miles. That's some distance. Kinda makes the four miles I led us down the wrong trail seem downright insignificant, wouldn't you say? Peter: If we don't find our campsight soon, you're going to be seeing a whole lot of stars, pal.
Vega will be the North Star in many, many years.
