New Plant Discovered and Dubbed "Planet San Diego"

Forget Planet Hollywood, Planet Radio, or anything else with "Planet" in it, we now have "Planet San Diego"

NASA discovered a new planet this week with a climate that resembles the Southern California city of San Diego.

"Planet San Diego" is located in the habitable zone around its star: Kepler-22b, which is estimated to have a pleasant surface temperature of 70 degrees and the capability to support liquid water.  Sounds good to me.

But as with most great discoveries, the discovery of Kepler-22b raised more questions than it answered: Specifically, what is the composition of the planet’s surface? Is it rocky, primarily liquid, or gaseous, and is it close to a dirty tourist planet that is known for cheap souvenirs and downtrodden strip clubs?  Let's call it Planet Tijuana.

We hope to learn more about the Planet next summer when it again become visable at night, kind of like an underachieving baseball team called the Padres.

Next summer, scientists hope to estimate the mass of the planet, with and without Tony Gwynn.  If everything checks out, one option would be to send an exploration team to the planet led by Norv Turner and Philip Rivers.  Many are against this team going because the expedition would start slow and then get intercepted as they moved to their touchdown spot.  

One thing that has been settled is the air between earth and Planet San Diego will be known as "Air Coryell."  

That's enough for now.  Can't wait to see the beaches in outer space.
