CopernicusA tribute.

Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543) was a Polish astronomer who proposed that Earth, like the other planets, revolves around the Sun. His book On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, published in 1543, helped transform how people understood the universe.※1

What his legacy means to us

A name.
A responsibility.

For us, respect for Copernicus means more than bearing his name.

It means being faithful to historical facts, and taking responsibility for the challenges we truly want to pursue.

We bring that commitment to the work of Copernicus Sust.※3
