But it is believed to be an Brown Dwarf, which would lend credence to the belief that it is reddish in colour, and dim, not bright.

And anyways, it's pretty dim, compared to the surrounding much farther stars, I can only see the brightest major constellations in my area, I would probably never see this orange ball, due to the extreme light pollution in my area.
I see sources saying it can only be photographed from the South pole, but here it's at the Orion Constellation.
Someone posted it's because of the extreme gravity of the Brown Dwarf, the light is being bent, something like that.
The world is not supposed to end, but to change. Could serious environmental devastation occur? I am betting on Nibiru influencing our sun, causing major solar storms, and eventually an pole shift, not North to South or South to North but to an certain degree, caused by the intense gravity of the passing Brown Dwarf.
Today, the astronomical community widely agrees that Planet X, as originally envisioned, does not exist. However, the concept of Planet X has been revived by a number of astronomers to explain other anomalies observed in the outer Solar System
Planet X, a hypothetical planet beyond Neptune. Initially employed to account for supposed discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus, it has been disproved. The concept has been re-applied to account for subsequent observations of Kuiper Belt objects, however.

[There are only 2 known brown dwarfs with planets orbiting them. ]
What about binary star systems?
Our solar system may be part of such an system, where an companion star orbits an superior star.
Here's an small editorial on it, which also makes references to the dark and new ages in our civilization. Binary Star Systems
