Thx i forgot about that one! I remember it now that you mention it... That one is very important too because it would probably dictate the speed of our solar system relative to the rest of our galaxy.

And our Solar System may be moving at a faster rate.! Relative to the Galaxy! Or parts of it.

CW Leonis has a radial velocity with respect to the sun of −18.6 km/s (Ladjal, et al 2010 Astronomy&Astrophysics - yes you need journal access to get it or you need to pay for it - yes I have journal access - no I'm not going to give you an illegal copy of the journal and break copyright law - this is directed to no one in particular, but before you ask... the answer is no) . Given a distance of about 135 parsecs, even if CW Leonis were on a collision course (it's not) with our solar system, it would take over 7 million years to get here.
