What if that object was pitch black?
Even if "Nibiru" was a dark star, an object of it's supposed size would have an effect on the orbits of other planetary bodies in our solar system, but that's not the case.
So just becuase you "CANT SEE IT" Doesnt mean "ITS NOT THERE"
we only see the part of it that is "Illuminated" by the Sun.

Nobody ANYWHERE is going to see nibiru because it doesn't exist. Also the Vatican doesn't have an Observatory in Antarctica, so I don't know where you're getting that information from.
They do have on is AZ though And get this.. It's named Lucifer.

What if?
What if a car painted black? Would it be invisible?

Unless of course there is something blocking the light path

that sunlight would be falling upon it -- so it would be lit up by the sun.
.... People mistake that statement to mean that brown dwarfs are made of some exotic material that can't ever be seen by our eyes.
... if that same dwarf star were orbiting the Sun somewhere out by Jupiter, it would be lit by the sun and thus visible to us -- almost certainly visible to the naked eeye
"It's just ridiculous how dark this planet is, how alien it is compared to anything we have in our solar system," study lead-author David Kipping, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told SPACE.com. "It's darker than the blackest lump of coal, than dark acrylic paint you might paint with. It's bizarre how this huge planet became so absorbent of all the light that hits it."
The researchers determined the planet's light-eating capabilities by using Hubble's Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph to search in mostly visible light for a tiny dip in starlight as the planet passed directly behind the star. The amount of dimming tells astronomers how much reflected light is given off by the planet. However, the observations did not detect reflected light, meaning that the daytime side of the planet is absorbing almost all the starlight falling onto it.
"Some have proposed that this darkness may be caused by a huge abundance of gaseous sodium and titanium oxide," Kipping said. "But more likely there is something exotic there that we have not thought of before.

What is it with people on this board being so religiously attached to their (albeit often unfounded) convictions?
Do some basic research if you're so convinced that you'll pour energy into stacks of paragraphs of hot air.

Oh God, the irony hurts me oh so much.
Really? Coming from a person who believes a planet is going to come out of nowhere and destroy Earth and take gold to create another body of Christ.
Oh it hurts, it really does.

Ok, so they were able to detect a planet that was super dark, outside our solar system, but they can't find one that is supposedly within the orbit of our planetary system? The exact same ways they used to find that planet would work just as well in our solar system too.
