So, it's a star that's made of iron? It's a hot star, but it can only be seen in infrared? I'm sorry physics don't work this way. A star is going to be gaseous and if it's hot it's going to sustain fusion, meaning it will produce its own light, especially if it's a red dwarf. Also, how's this for a tail?

Regardless of its temperature a star is going to reflect light. Even a brown dwarf has a similar albedo to Jupiter. Jupiter is a very apparent light in the sky due to the light it reflects from the Sun. A star would be larger and thus be more apparent. As for the 1983 article I have covered this many times. The article is referring to a study that would be published in 1984 by Houck et al. In their study they found ten unknown signatures in the IRAS data. At he time they hypothesized a long list of things, one of which was a planet at the edge of the solar system, but not coming this way. Nine of these objects were identified in 1985 when Houck et al. published their first follow-up study which found that they were ultra-luminous, distant, young galaxies. Then in 1987 Houck et al. identified the final object as an infrared cirrus. To date no new objects have been found within the solar system using IRAS data. As for the picture it was posted on Leonid Elenin's site and was taken by a well-respected amateur astronomer who has discovered his own comet. So to post a picture that is not Elenin, Elenin and Lovejoy would be putting their future as astronomers at risk as anyone would be capable of checking whether or not that picture was Elenin.

IRC +10216 or CW Leonis is a well-studied carbon star that is embedded in a thick dust envelope. It was first discovered in 1969 by a group of astronomers led by Eric Becklin, based upon infrared observations made with the 62 inches (1.6 m) Caltech Infrared Telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory. Its energy is emitted mostly at infrared wavelengths. At a wavelength of 5 μm, it was found to have the highest flux of any object outside the Solar System.[4]

No Leonid Elenin? Then who has been discovering asteroids since 2008? Who is the Leonid Elenin that works at the Russian Academy of Science? Who is the Leonid Elenin that went on Russian television and gave an interview? There is absolutely no merit behind the claims that Leonid Elenin does not exist and full merit behind the claims that this whole Elenin nonsense was created by hoaxers with names like Terral Croft and Astrolpatriot.
Furthermore, even if it's not a star it's going to reflect light. Or one of its satellites will reflect light. In short any new object in the solar system with the size you're suggesting is going to very noticeable. And that's not even taking into account the gravitational effects. Explain to me how if Elenin is a giant planet it had no affect on the orbit of the asteroid 1999 RQ176 when it passed within .002 AU.edit on 31-8-2011 by Xcalibur254 because: (no reason given)

The image that you believe (not saying you claim because in reality you are just regurgitating what someone else has claimed) to be Nibiru is in fact a Carbon Star.

From my own research, all evidence provided for the existence of Nibiru is fantastical evidence. There is not one shred of proof for it's existence.
You know what, I'm going to discover a planet that is orbiting around some star that is way far, far away and just call it Nibiru so that we can finally lay this nonsense to rest.

I mean this guy.
And can you please explain to me how iron oxide forms in space? You see there's one key ingredient for iron to become iron oxide. It's called oxygen. Last time I checked that doesn't exist in the vacuum of space. Then there's the fact that you can see iron oxide. That means it reflects light.

There is fallacy to this logic.
Essentially you state that since you cannot verify the existence of IRC+ 10216 (CW Leonis), then it must not exist. You may not have said this directly but that is what is perceived by me. However, I present this to you, I cannot find reference to Nibiru, Planet X, Wormwood. If, given the current conspiracy theory, man has known about Nibiru for thousands of years (and only known about CW Leonis since 1969) why is it not searchable in Google Sky?

Also, I thought I should point out that the South Pole Telescope does not take visual images. It's a radio telescope. So it would be quite impossible for them to release images of Nibiru in 2008.

Actually you're right I can't go out and spot Mars. It doesn't rise here for another seven hours. However, if I went outside in seven hours I would be able to see it. So, if I can see Mars why can I not see an object that is larger and closer than Mars? It should at the very least be blocking out stars if for some reason it is reflecting zero light. I will mention however that some forms of iron oxide do have high reflective factors. The lowest I saw was 17% which would still be quite visible at this distance.
