It's scientific fact that any object the size of noobiru that's set to hit the earth tomorrow would be clearly visible in the sky.
It's not.
Unless it's a DARK STAR
Even the creators of the Nemesis hypothesis don't subscribe to that theory anymore.
The researchers searched mathematically for patterns that were common to both datasets, and found that both showed an excess of organisms disappearing every 27 million years, too regularly to be caused by a shiftable star.
"It was a slam dunk on finding exactly what you would expect to find if they [Raup and Sepkoski] were right, which surprised me," Melott said. "We have strong confirmation of this periodicity, it's exactly the same one that those guys found in '84, and we have no clue what's causing it."
Other astronomers think Nemesis is still out there, however. Richard A. Muller of the University of California at Berkeley, one of the authors of the 1984 paper proposing the dark star and the author of a popular book called Nemesis: The Death Star, thinks Melott is "coming to too strong a conclusion."
"I would agree with most of what he says, but I think he is overestimating the accuracy of the geologic timescale," he said. The geological record gives only an approximate sense of when major extinctions happened. "You get them in the right order, but it's really difficult to get an actual date," he said. In light of that uncertainty, "I would say the Nemesis hypothesis is still alive."
There is a way to check. Several ongoing astronomical survey telescopes, including NASA's Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope and the Pan-STARRS survey, are scanning the sky with enough sensitivity to find Nemesis if it exists. If they don't find the dark star, then it probably isn't there.
WORDS FROM THE RESEARCHER
"It's hard to believe, but the solar neighborhood is still unexplored territory."
Plus, it's gravitational influence being this close to Earth would of already annihilated us and messed up the orbit of the inner solar system and its objects (comets, asteroids etc).

Watch the Movie 2012.....three times at least......then reverse the last 2 digits of the title....and you get the EXACT REALITY HUMANITY IS AND WILL BE FACING IN ...........2021.......likely Sept.2021.
I get my focus from David Hamels stated date of arrival.

The runaway star, US 708, is traveling at 745 miles per second (1200 km/s) — that's 26 million miles per hour (43 million km/h) —making it the fastest star in the Milky Way ever clocked by astronomers, according to the new research
The stupid...it HURTS.
A few years prior to publication of the WISE data which found no evidence to support the Nemesis hypothesis
Is there a large planet at the fringes of our solar system awaiting discovery, a world astronomers call Planet Nine? We’re looking for this planet and for new brown dwarfs in the backyard of the solar system using data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission. But we need your help! Finding these dim objects requires combing through the images by eye to distinguish moving celestial bodies from ghosts and other artifacts. There are too many images for us to search through by ourselves. So come join the search, and you might find a rogue world that's nearer to the Sun than Proxima Centauri---or even the elusive Planet Nine.
