Here's a basic article on the Voyager 2 flyby
Voyager 2 - Encounter with Neptune
I don't mind substantiating my position. No else was bothering so I didn't.

cant find even Leonid Elenin, is he real? his comet has courted much internet speculation, the guy isn't even on Facebook, Wikipedia, or Yahoo news. He's never been sought for an interview by the media. Does he even exist?

Have you seen this before?
This is a little thinly reminder
I hate the arrogance of the "raised Christians" that have been brain washed but think they know everything
You guys have no idea what's really going on! You are like that other guy that sticks his head in the sand. You keep learning from you church - they are telling you everything Just pay your duty there and Jesus will save you!!! Gooooood boy, gooood!!!!!
In the past few days another silly rumor has appeared on godlikeproductions. They claim that the comet's discoverer, Russian amateur astronomer Leonid Elenin, does not exist, and the name is a code based on ELE = Extinction Level Event.

An 18 inch telescope (the one that Leon Elenin used) refers to the DIAMETER of the mirror, the telescope used in this video seems to be less than 3 inches in diameter.
In the video it states that a brown dwarf would not be visible in the infrared spectrum. The reason it is called brown is that almost all of its output is in the infrared part of the spectrum and little is in the visible spectrum!
On a normal homemade 6 inch dobsonian reflector telescope I can resolve small enough to see the moons of Jupiter (hell, even Galileo could do that). In this video, he didn't seem to be able to resolve Jupiter to more than a small dot.
At the present moment, comet Elenin is inside the orbit of Jupiter, about half way from the Earth to Jupiter.
If it was a brown dwarf, it would simply be visible and anyone, even with a toy telescope, would be able to see it. We'd be feeling its heat (a brown dwarf is a cold STAR) and seeing effects of it gravity.
We don't because Comet Elenin is tiny (less than 4 km across). Because it is so small, people with toy telescopes are not likely to see it. Nor is it likely to have any measurable effect on the Earth.
I'll try & figure out where the maker of this video was looking in the sky when he made it and give you the name of the star he is misidentifying as Nibiru. I'll also tell you how many light years away it is.

I don't think 4 kilometers across is "tiny". They say the asteroid that impacted 65 million years ago may have been 10 km in diameter. Does it sound so tiny now?

Facebook is not a good place to look for actual information.
You're clearly not looking in the right places for useful information. If you did not find Elenin I'm guessing you didn't try much.

That should get you some useful information.
