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.
