Kolob

Kolob is a star or planet described in Mormon scripture. Reference to Kolob is found in the Book of Abraham. It is a work translated from some alleged papyrus scrolls (See Introduction of the Book of Abraham) by Joseph Smith, Jr., the founder of the Latter Day Saint (LDS) movement. According to this work, Kolob is the heavenly body nearest to the throne of God. While the Book of Abraham refers to Kolob as a "star", it also refers to planets as stars, and therefore, some LDS commentators consider Kolob to be a planet.
