The title of the thread is actually kind of interesting, because you ask the question "does it ever change"? It almost makes it seem like it might suddenly start moving. In fact, it is changing constantly, so proxima centauri is not the same distance from the earth as it was when I started typing this sentence. Not that it makes a big difference.
