It was highlighted because it is the coldest Brown Dwarf to have been found. As my links above talk about, it is only about 100 C/ 212 F degrees.
Again they say it is 75 light years away from earth.
So, the potential Spitzer discovery of an "ultra-cold" brown dwarf has excited scientists even more. Spitzer's candidate brown dwarf, detected 63 light-years from Earth with a mass of approximately seven times the mass of Jupiter, appears to have a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius (86 F)
Interestingly, WD 0806-661B orbits a white dwarf star (called, unsurprisingly, WD 0806-661) and could be considered an exoplanet. But it orbits at a huge distance: 2,500 AU -- or 2,500 times the distance between the sun and Earth.
WISE has only officially discovered one confirmed brown dwarf. Here is the press release, from November 9, 2010. And here is the paper about the discovery published in the January, 2011 issue of the Astrophysical Journal. It has discovered many other brown dwarf candidates, but none have been confirmed by other observations and had the results published.

This one may be a new brown dwarf they found most recently and they're not giving away much details about its size nor whereabouts yet.
Scientists using the Submillimeter Array have recently discovered that Pluto's temperature is about 43 K (−230 °C), 10 K colder than would otherwise be expected.[84]
Typical atmospheres of known brown dwarfs range in temperature from 2200 down to 750 K
Astronomers have found the coldest known star — a brown dwarf in a double system about as hot as a cup of tea. The discovery blurs the line between small cold stars and large hot planets. The star, CFBDSIR 1458+10B, is the dimmer member of the binary system, about 75 light-years from Earth.
The dimmer of the two dwarfs has now been found to have a temperature of about 100 degrees Celsius, or about 370 K — the boiling point of water, and not much different from the temperature inside a sauna. By comparison the temperature of the surface of the Sun is about 5500 degrees Celsius.

I'm kind of interested in knowing why there is this camp of people who are hoping for impending doom and the end of their lives. I can really only conclude that playing that card must be a purposeful attempt at spreading disinformation in the hopes of stimulating shock reactions, gathering attention, while under the cover of pretending to be uneducated to appear sincere, as a bit of amusement like trowing raspberries at grandma while hiding behind the couch.

Who is we exactly? There is no...... We, there is....... Them and Us. Nemesis is reported to currently be behind our sun currently, difficult to see, that is why they are watching it from the South Pole. With the distance it is estimated and given nobody knows the exact mass or size of the object, it is impossible to speculate if it's effects currently would have more effect on the Earth at this time greater than we are experiencing right now.
Ok, I can accept that "it" could be out of view and hiding behind sun. Is this the only time we try to study it, when we cant see it? We are moving, in a circle even and we will come around and there will be a point we would or should have line of sight on it. Even then, this thing has been heading this way for years and I cannot help but to think even then, other planets would have anomalies well before Earth would feel them. I am not intentionally trying to debunk any claims here, things just do not seem to be adding up, but I could be wrong, it has happened before.

Here is the problem, using NASA data, we have the New Zealand quake, the Chilean quake and the Japan quake all happening when the Earth, Sun and "comet" Elenin are directly aligned with each other.

Simply not true:
At 06:34:14 UTC on February 27, 2010, the time of the 8.8 Chile earthquake, the Earth and Elenin were separated by about 1° 04' 07" viewed from the sun. Elenin was actually most closely aligned with the Earth at only 0° 25' 21" of separation, at 05:20 UTC on February 26. 2010, or 1 day, 6 hours, and 14 minutes earlier.
Then there were 11 more earthquakes of 7.0 or higher.
At 16:35:46 UTC on September 03, 2010, the time of the 7.0 Christchurch earthquake, the Sun and Elenin were separated by about 1° 16' 38" viewed from Earth. Elenin was actually most closely aligned with the sun at only 0° 30' 22" at 04:35 UTC on September 05, 2010, or 1 day, 11 hours, and 59 minutes later.
Then there were 9 more earthquakes of 7.0 or higher.
At 05:46:23 UTC on March 11, 2011, the time of the 9.0 Japan earthquake, the Earth and Elenin were separated by about 3° 00' 00" viewed from the sun. Elenin was actually most closely aligned with the Earth at at only 0° 54' 21" at 13:00 UTC on March 14, 2011, or 3 day, 7 hours, and 14 minutes later.

You don't find the data in your own post kinda strange...... At all? You know the Japan earthquake was predicted very accurately using NASA trajectory information right? There is going to be a 3-5 day window but your own data speaks to the fact that the object is related to all three.
