I will just start here, said 1AU is distance of Earth to Sun, they said the distance of Brown Dwarf is between 60 and 66 Aus disance.

Fior those that missed the original thread, I guess you also missed the all the contradictions of the article, so let me summerise.
1. The starviwer team are not astronomers, they are a bunch of people on a website that requires users to pay to use the site properly, and the site is not a trusted media outlet
2. Despite the millions of amatuer and non government observatories and telescopes around the world (not involved with NASA), only one claims to have spotted this
3. The article claims the object is the same distance from the sun as it is to earth. If this were true people would be able to see it from the ground.
4. Brown dwarfs can only be detected by infra red telescopes due to the surface of them not reflecting light in the normal spectrum
5. The brown dwarf images are of a supernova, all you have to do is google supernova and you will see thousands of similar images to the one used in the article
6. Even if it were a brwon dwarf, the image is taken in real light, which would contradict the existence of a brown dwarf
7. Nibiru believers always say its only visible from ther South Pole, which consequently would make it visible from the entire southern hemisphere where I live, and where Spain is not

another star could easily then, hide on the outskirts of pluto, averaging 4 billion miles fromt he sun*
I have one question that everyone here (should) be asking, If this Brown Dwarf star's orbit is outside the kuiper belt extending to the Oort Cloud, what exactly is this BDS orbiting? There has to be something massive keeping it from entering our system if so, what is it? Or is this object really inbound and they don't want to start a panic.. Thoughts?
This thing is far from the center of Milky Way,the oort belt is about 200,000 AUs away from Sun the Sun's gravity should not even be effecting it.

It is so far outside the Kuiper belt and even the Oort Cloud that it is near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is a long, long, long, llllooooonnnnnggggg way from getting anywhere near out galaxy.
Here is a rundown at Sky and Telescope

There IS an anomaly in the orbits of the outer planets. That's exactly how Neptune and Pluto were discovered, maybe even Uranus. But the people who discovered Pluto were looking for the gravitational effects of a much larger body, but never found it.
I am going to be watching for more "Heaven's Gates" style antics come 2012... It's sad really.

You might as well be speaking to a brick wall Oz... you would have more luck instilling some rationale into it. Apparently trusting snake oil salesmen is easier than trusting all the combined observatories in the world.
It's easier to believe that 1000's of unrelated people are all in on the conspiracy than it is to believe that a few idiots from a 4th rate website are having a lend of them.
