A 60 km wide moon crater located south of the lunar equator is named after him "Nasreddin". The dwarf planet 10269 Tusi, discovered by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Stepanovich Chernykh in 1979, is named after him.
K. N. Toosi University of Technology in Iran and Shamakhy Observatory in the Republic of Azerbaijan are also named after him. In February 2013, Google celebrated its 812th birthday with a doodle, which was accessible on its websites in Arabic calling him al-farsi the Persian.
His birthday is also celebrated as an Engineering Day in Iran.
Possible Influence on Nicolaus Copernicus.
Some scholars believe that Nicolaus Copernicus was probably influenced by Middle Eastern astronomers because of the mysterious similarities between his work and the silent work of these Islamic scholars, including Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, Ibn al-Shatir, Muayyad al-Din al-Urdi, and Qutb al -Din al-Shirazi.
Al-Tusi specifically, the plagiarism in question comes from the similarity of the Tusi couple with Copernicus' geometric method of subtracting Equant from mathematical astronomy.
Not only are both methods geometrically compatible, but, more importantly both use the same straightforward writing system for each vertex; details that appear to be too natural to be realistic.
Moreover, the fact that certain details of his portrait are similar to that of other Islamic scholars reinforces the view that Copernicus' work was not his own.
There is no evidence that any direct work of Nasir al-Din al-Tusi has ever been copied by Copernicus, however, there is evidence that statistics and theories made the trip to Europe.
There were Jewish scientists and pilgrims who would travel from the Middle East to Europe, carrying scientific ideas from the Middle East to share with their Christian counterparts.
Although he admits that this is not a clear indication that Copernicus was able to achieve al-Tusi's work, it does indicate that it was possible.
Only one such scholar, Abner of Burgos, wrote a book containing the second edition of the incomplete Tusian text, which may have been discovered by Copernicus.
It is important to note that his translation had no geometric evidence, so if Copernicus had received the book he would have had to complete both the proof and the method.
In addition, some scholars believe that, if they were not Jewish intellectuals, it would be possible to transfer from the Islamic school of Maragheh, home to Nasir al-Din al-Tusi's viewing site to Muslim Spain.
From Spain, al-Tusi and other Islamic cosmological ideologies can be spread throughout Europe. The spread of Islamic astronomy from the Maragheh Observatory to Europe was also possible in the form of Greek translations from Gregory Choniades.

Despite this, there is no direct evidence that Copernicus copied the work of Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, and that he did so deliberately.
The Tusi pair is not a unique system, and since the equant was a critical need to maintain circular motion it is possible that more than one astronomer wished to improve on it; to that end, some scholars suggest that the astronomer could not have used Euclid's work to locate a Tutsi couple himself, and that Copernicus probably did this instead of stealing.
Euclid
Before Copernicus published his work on his geometry machine, he had written extensively about his dissatisfaction with Ptolemaic astronomy and numerology, so some scholars argued that it was untrue for Copernicus to reproduce the Tusi couple without seeing it. as he had a clear motive for doing so.
Also, some scholars who argue that Copernicus' hypocrisy says that he never claims to own it, he simply dismisses it as natural. However, some criticize mathematicians.
They rarely work like other scientists, so declaring the theory itself is a different and not the norm. Therefore, there is a reason and explanation for why Copernicus did not copy, in spite of the evidence against him.
