Brown dwarfs are not seen in the visible spectrum.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1380013

Please explain why the brown dwarf 2MASS J16452211-1319516 is visible on a regular visible red light sensitive film plate on the palomar sky survey, not just the infrared sensitive plate?

It's the star near the center of the image here on the infrared plate:

And here's the same brown dwarf in visible red light:

It's much dimmer relative to the other stars in visible light, but it's still detectable, and that's from 39 light years away using just a regular red sensitive film plate! Yes, you do need a sizeable telescope and very sensitive imager to detect a brown dwarf that far away, but Nibiru's not supposed to be nearly that far away.

A brown dwarf star in our solar system would also reflect sunlight just fine. It reflect as much light as Uranus at worst, Jupiter at best ( [link to arxiv.org] ) making it an easy naked-eye object if one were anywhere near here.
Roughly 80% of solar systems are binary.
 Quoting: AC

Another myth to bust. Most solar systems in our galaxy are single.

In fact, only about 9% of stars in the stellar neighborhood have widely separated binaries (semi-major axis >200 AU), as "Nibiru" would be.

The morons who jump on these threads to piss on facts are going to be in for one hell of a surprise in late August.
 Quoting: AC

Your "facts" are false, and when there's still no "brown dwarf" to be seen in August I'm betting you're not going to man up to your prediction and admit you were wrong.
Good riddance actually, these are the sheep that will be looking for food and shelter because they were too busy telling everyone that they were crazy, and no such thing as binary stars....idiots.
 Quoting: AC

I dare you to show me any debunker who said "there's no such thing as binary stars." I have never seen anyone say that, maybe I missed it. Show me because I would love to debunk that false claim.
 Quoting: Astromut


Dude,

Why are you still wasting your time on these Niburu yellers?
If its real we will see it soon enough.
If not they will crawl back under their rocks.

I just keep an open mind so if it really comes it wont be a shocker.
And if it doesn't .....
 Quoting: Mr Martin


and what is there to keep an open mind about? If nibiru existed, there would be effects. There is a difference between believing something CAN exist and believing something DOES exist.

CAN nibiru exist? as described, not likely, but brown dwarves can and do exist.

Does nibiru exist? the massive lack of evidence, especially where one would expect it, says no. We also exclude black holes, or other stars existing in our solar system because of the lack of evidence.

We ARE talking about a mundane (in the sense that it is not degenerate or exotic matter) astronomical object here. its not like it follows the rules of the Lord of the Rings or something. Its basic physics.
