Sorry about the delay whacker, i fell asleep,i was refering to the US government, they control all the relevant observatories. By that i mean the ones located in the far southern hemispheres.
As far as amateur astronomers go, unless they are in Antarctica they have no chance of seeing a brown dwarf below the ecliptic no matter how large it may be.
you wont have to wait too long now before wormwoods emergence.

Just horrible how some of you people ridicule the guys who are proponents of the Nibiru theory.
You and your "science" and what not.
Of course there is Nibiru. And yes, it is approaching toward the south pole, so thats why we can still not see it.
Maybe the scientists working in Antarctica could have seen it, but hey, not Nibiru's fault that there were some stubborn clouds over the science station there lately.
And if some of the southern people, like say, Chileans have been in the best position to see it (due to southern hemisphere winter) - it is again not Nibirus fault that this opportunity coincided with the World Cup.
All of Chile was watching the World Cup so no one thought of looking for Nibiru. It isnt coming until 2012 anyway, and the World Cup was really important this year. Seeing as it is the LAST World Cup and all ...
Please, do not be so mean to us nibiruans.

A recently-discovered dwarf planet, named Sedna, has an extra-long and usual elliptical orbit around the Sun. Sedna is one of the most distant objects yet observed, with an orbit ranging between 76 and 975 AU (where 1 AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun). Sedna's orbit is estimated to last between 10.5 to 12 thousand years. Sedna's discoverer, Mike Brown of Caltech, noted in a Discover magazine article that Sedna's location doesn't make sense. "Sedna shouldn't be there," said Brown. "There's no way to put Sedna where it is. It never comes close enough to be affected by the Sun, but it never goes far enough away from the Sun to be affected by other stars."
