I can’t see anything about the moon’s period lengthening, but wikipedia has this Timeline of the far future which includes:

100,000 [years from now]:The proper motion of stars across the celestial sphere, which results from their movement through the Milky Way, renders many of the constellations unrecognizable.

3 million: Due to tidal deceleration gradually slowing Earth’s rotation, a day on Earth is expected to be one minute longer than it is today.

600 million: Tidal acceleration moves the Moon far enough from Earth that total solar eclipses are no longer possible.

so that’s neat. there’s a lot of other things on that list you might be able to weave in, too
