Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon recorded their vision of the celestial kingdom in Doctrine and Covenants 76:50-70. Rather than describe what it looked like, they described the sort of people who were there. Hence, it may be reasonable to suppose that the celestial kingdom is more of a state of being than a place of residence. Mormon doctrine teaches that the earth itself will eventually be made into a celestial kingdom, so it very well may not look all that different from the world you already know. D&C 130:2 states "that same sociality which exists among us here will exist among us there, only it will be coupled with eternal glory, which glory we do not now enjoy." In D&C 77:1, the Lord describes the earth in that state as "a sea of burning glass", although this verse does not state whether this is a reference to the appearance of the earth at that time, or some sort of symbol, as is likely considering that this verse was obtained in response to a question about Revelation 4:6.

What happens to us in the celestial kingdom?

Not many details are known about specific kingdoms. We generally know that the Telestial Kingdom is so glorious that we can't comprehend it, that the Terrestrial Kingdom is much better, and that the Celestial Kingdom is much better still. So, it's an unfathomably amazing place to be. Inhabits of the Celestial Kingdom will also teach those in the Terrestrial Kingdom. Within the Celestial Kingdom, however, there are also three degrees of glory. Those who inherit the highest have been sealed to a spouse in the temple and will ultimately be exalted to godhood just as our God has been (though we will not replace him). Those who are not exalted will act as angels.


Will Jesus be in the Celestial heaven according to Mormonism?

Yes. According to the doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), there are three levels or kingdoms of heaven, the Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial. The Celestial Kingdom is the highest, and is the eternal home of God the Father and Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has the ability to visit those in the Terrestrial kingdom, but his home is the Celestial Kingdom at the right hand of His Father, God.
