Kolob is a star or planet described in Mormon scripture, but never identified with any known object. Reference to Kolob is found in the Book of Abraham, a work published by Mormon founder Joseph Smith, Jr. as a translation from Egyptian papyri, though his translation is not supported by modern Egyptologists. According to this work, Kolob is the heavenly body nearest to the throne or residence of God. While the Book of Abraham refers to Kolob as a "star", it also refers to planets as stars, and therefore, some Mormon commentators consider Kolob to be a planet. Other Mormons consider Kolob to be a Christian metaphor.
