When will Planet X be naked-eye visible?

you won't be able to see it unless you're in south america

go get your telescope and go there and look

planet x is approaching our solar system

Pssss: A planet is a body circulating around a star. To which star system
does planet X belong? 

Actually, that's the funny part. It's supposed to be orbiting around a brown
dwarf companion to our own sun. It's thirty some million miles away coming
in from its long cyclical journey through the Oort clouds, and by all calculations
should be traveling somewhere around four times the speed of light.

You'll be able to see it with a telescope if you're in South America, but
not if you're in Australia or Africa - unclear why - grays may be masking
its approach from those continents.  

Don't poo-poo it right away. 

Could happen...we don't know EVERYTHING, you know.
