The Nicolaus Copernicus Monument in Toruń - in the city where the brilliant astronomer who stopped the Sun and moved the Earth was born.
The monument depicts Nicolaus Copernicus dressed in a professor's toga, holding an armillary sphere in his left hand and pointing to the sky with the finger of his right hand, which is supposed to indicate Copernicus's connections with astronomy and celestial research
On the pedestal on the front side there is an inscription in Latin, which when translated reads: Nicolaus Copernicus of Toruń, He Moved the Earth, Stopped the Sun and the Sky
