A nearby star, which has the third fastest known motion after Barnard's Star and Kapteyn's Star - 7.04" per year. In about 100,000 years, the star will move from Ursa Major to the constellation of Canis Major! Because it is 28 light-years away, its rapid apparent motion is more a result of its actual space velocity than its proximity. Such stars are part of the Galactic Halo and therefore as old as globular clusters. Arcturus in Boötes is their brightest example.
