i was waiting something with your experience in the subject..
is there a place where it will be difficult to locate an object either by day or night?
Not really a place, except in exactly the Earths orbit and exactly on the opposite side of the sun. In an orbit like that, we'd never have anything at all to worry about, because it could never "catch" the Earth - it would have exactly the same orbit, but 180 degrees away. Any other orbit would make it visible at some other time. Orbits outside the Earth's would be visible at some point during the night, and orbits far enough in that they would never be seen at night would be seen transiting the solar disc during daylight observations of the sun (searching for sunspots and the like), and could not cross the Earth's orbit either inward or outward without being seen at night.
Orbits like the one claimed for Nibiru are the same kind of orbits that comets have - highly elliptical, and coming from the outer solar system inward, looping around the sun, and going back outward again. We see comets at night on both the inward and outward legs of their journey.
The problem with a body the size of Nibiru following an orbit like that is that it would wreak havoc on the planets of the inner solar system as it passed by, and they would have all been flung out long ago. If Nibiru existed, we would not. The Earth would have been long gone. Remember, the solar system is around 4,6 billion years old. Divided by the postulated 3600 year elliptical orbit, that equates to a whole lot of orbital passes in which to have dislodged all the planets in the inner solar system. It only takes one pass.
That's why planets can't orbit binary stars unless they are very, very close together or very, very far apart. In the first case, it's possible for planets to orbit BOTH stars at a certain distance - any closer and the planetary orbits become unstable. In the second case, each star could have it's own solar system, but then the outer orbits are what would be unstable, being affected by the other star.
Edit to add: with a 3600 year orbit, Nibiru would have completed 1,278,000 (+/-, roughly) orbits in the 4.6 billion year history of the solar system. Any ONE of those could have made us not be here, if it were there.

i participate in some computers forums where they still ask how to start a PC in Safe Mode...i just reply in a friendly manner..
i guess some of the approach is sign that in fact they just google the information on the fly playing the expert role..when in reality they have to thank mamma she paid them the internet bill for the month

Quake activity is not increasing. It has been the same for about as long as records have been kept, especially stronger quakes for which there are better records. It's the news that makes it seem otherwise.
nibiru is quiet a hotter subject than safe mode isnt it

Happy to see that there still is respectfull and knowing people around, answering those questions from people (like me) who doesn't exactly know so much regarding astronomy.
Thankyou.
If I may ask a question, I would love to hear your take on Elenin, if it is a comet then how come it's so hard to spot?
There has been a synchronicity between alignment Sun, Elenin and Earth and some really heavy earthquakes, three times actually, if that's not a very unlikely coincidence then what is it?
I know you can't give any real answers on these, but would respectfully like to know your opinion, considering you insightful.
Best wishes

The idea of the Nibiru encounter originated with Nancy Lieder, a Wisconsin woman who claims that as a girl she was contacted by gray extraterrestrials called Zetas, who implanted a communications device in her brain.
She stated, speaking as the Zetas, that "The Hale-Bopp comet does not exist.
After Hale-Bopp's perihelion revealed it as one of the brightest and longest-observed comets of the last century, Lieder removed the first two sentences of her initial statement from her site, though they can still be found in Google's archives.
Lieder described Planet X as roughly four times the size of the Earth, and said that its perigee would occur on May 27, 2003, resulting in the Earth's rotation ceasing for exactly 5.9 terrestrial days.
Lieder's Planet X idea first spread beyond her website in 2001, when Mark Hazlewood, a former member of the ZetaTalk community, took her ideas and published them in a book: Blindsided: Planet X Passes in 2003.
After the 2003 date passed without incident, Lieder said that it was merely a "White Lie ... to fool the establishment,”
