I suggest that those who genuinely care about astronomy (as opposed to Nibiru pseudo-science) visit the following web pages:
Astronomy for beginners
Class no2 should make it abundantly clear why the whole Nibiru nonsense is laughable pseudo-scientific nonsense.
For those who are already a bit more advanced, or for those who have taken an astronomy class:
Advanced concepts
The stuff in the second link requires at least a decent understanding of math and basic physics.
All videos are 100% free!!
If you watch those video and still believe sun flares appearing before disappearing again a small time later are some crazy ass planet...well...nobody can help you

I hate you. As if I needed something else truly geeky to suck my life away.

Thought I would add this...
Binary systems refer to 2 suns (or more with name change), not planets. I have seen this theory before and like the person a few posts up thank you for posting it. The theory suggest there is a companion to our sun, a brown dwarf, which is not observable by the naked eye or most space / ground based telescopes because of how dim / colder it is compared to surrounding stars.

So what if this thing ignited at some point in the near future, which would cause it to be hotter, and visible to the eye?
It is estimated that approximately 1/3 of the star systems in the Milky Way are binary or multiple, with the remaining 2/3 consisting of single stars.

That rogue planet is 100 light years away. 1 Light Year is just over 5.8 trillion miles.
If that planet were to be headed our way, even traveling at the speed of light, it would take it 100 years to get here.
It's the closest one found to us yet, but the term "Close" is rather relative. Our closest neighbor, Alpha Centauri is 4.3 light years away. So a star, that was just recently discovered to have a planet around it is actually much, much closer than this rogue object.

Can you see in which forum his brand new try is in?
Just mind-boggling... left me speechless... then i cried

I hope you don't mind but I quoted this post in another thread.
The free-floating object, called CFBDSIR2149, is likely a gas giant planet four to seven times more massive than Jupiter, scientists say in a new study
There's still a slight chance that CFBDSIR2149 is a brown dwarf — a strange object that's larger than a planet but too small to trigger the internal nuclear fusion reactions required to become a full-fledged star
