On page 271 of the Journal of Discourses, Brigham Young stated the following:<\/p>\n
\n“Do you think [the sun] is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain. It was made to give light to those who dwell upon it, and to other planets; and so will this earth when it is celestialzed. Every planet in its first rude, organic state receives not the glory of God upon it, but it is opaque; but when celestialized, every planet that God brings into existence is a body of light, but not till then.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Assuming Brigham Young’s thoughts on this matter are correct, it seems then that the Sun was once an inhabited world, and that this earth in its celestial state will have a temperature of 5780 Kelvins (5500 ?\u00c7\u00ac?C) and be 333,000 larger in mass than it is now.\n<\/p>\n
Actually, what’s even more interesting are the reports that Joseph Smith also taught the moon was inhabited. Or rather it is interesting when compared to scriptures such as the following:<\/p>\n
\n“There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.” (1 Cor. 15:41)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n“Wherefore, they are bodies terrestrial, and not bodies celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun.” (D&C 76:78)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
