According to a Revelation received by the Prophet Joseph Smith, The various kingdoms of the afterlife were revealed. Basically there are 4 Major divisions or places where people will go once they have finished their mortal probation.
1. Celestial Kingdom - this is where all the faithful followers of Christ will go. Eventually this will be on this earth once it is celestialized.
2. Terrestrial Kingdom - This is where honorable people of the earth will go who were deceived by the world and rejected Christ but lived relatively good lives.
3. Telestial Kingdom - This is where most of the bad people of the earth will go. This is called Hell. The murderers, thieves, whoremongers, etc will go here. Those who have loved darkness more than light.
These three kingdoms are likened unto the Sun, Moon, and Stars for their differing glory.
4. Outer Darkness - This is the place reserved for the Sons of Perdition. These are they who have had great light given to them in their lives and knew the truthfulness of Christ and his gospel and still rejected it and come out in open rebellion against it. This is where Satan and his angels will be. Of this place the scriptures tell us:
Doctrine and Covenants 76:42-49
42 That through him all might be saved whom the Father had put into his power and made by him;
43 Who glorifies the Father, and saves all the works of his hands, except those sons of perdition who deny the Son after the Father has revealed him.
44 Wherefore, he saves all except them—they shall go away into everlasting punishment, which is endless punishment, which is eternal punishment, to reign with the devil and his angels in eternity, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment—
45 And the end thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their torment, no man knows;
46 Neither was it revealed, neither is, neither will be revealed unto man, except to them who are made partakers thereof;
47 Nevertheless, I, the Lord, show it by vision unto many, but straightway shut it up again;
48 Wherefore, the end, the width, the height, the depth, and the misery thereof, they understand not, neither any man except those who are ordained unto this condemnation.
49 And we heard the voice, saying: Write the vision, for lo, this is the end of the vision of the sufferings of the ungodly.

Doctrine and Covenants 76
1 Corinthians 15:39-44
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 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.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
