Because brown dwarfs are so common, it is likely that the closest "star" to the Sun is not Proxima Centauri but some hitherto undiscovered brown dwarf that will be imaged successfully for the first time by WISE.

I quoted the posts that the links i POSTED ANSWERED, ADDRESSED AND DEBUNKED, Mr Magoo LoL
you're not too bright are you...
But of course like so many others ignorant of the facts, your comments are based on a false premise....AND THOSE WHO HATE IT, ARE USUALLY IN DENIAL AND HAVEN'T DONE ANY REAL RESEARCH ON THINGS THEY CRITICIZE... oooops, sorry. my bad ...
Which is the typical claim made by those who:
usually have zero evidence for their arguments,
are obfuscating,
denying,
attack the messenger because they hate the message
use ad homs
are trying to derail threads
you know... basic tactics employed by shills and trolls peddling disinfo

I suppose, if a brown dwarf was in a elongated binary orbit with our sun, it could go through a periodic warming on approach and cooling as it moved away.

Does anyone know where Elenin is supposed to be right now? Like the coordinates? My neighbor has a pretty sweet telescope, we were looking at Saturn the other night and could see the rings and a few moons, it has tracking and remote control movement so if anyone knows where it is I'd be interested to try and track it down.

You'll find all the information you need here. It is extremely dim and I doubt you will be able to see it, nevertheless, good hunting!

So, how exactly did elenin find it with an 8 inch refractor, since it was surely much farther and smaller when he discovered it in November?

i am sorry to disagree, but it would not reflect the same. for a few reasons
1) it is much colder and is not known to be made of same gas'es
2) it is possibly a brown dwarf (failed star), jupiter is a planet of gas not even close to the mass needed for a star and in an orbit that has been the same for millions of years. where this POSSIBLE brown dwarf is 20 x's colder and MUCH further out 9&% of its orbit.
