The sculpture was created at the dawn of the development of practical cosmonautics, and the first launches of ballistic missiles were carried out. It was opened in 1958 a month before the launch of the first artificial satellite of the earth and became a symbol of the first space launch. The sculpture «To the Stars» was installed at the Central entrance to the Catherine Park in 1958. It represents a person launching a rocket into the sky. A young, half-naked man in a loincloth, like Prometheus, like a torch, holds a rocket aimed skyward. The figure of Prometheus of the XX century is installed on a granite pedestal, in front of which there is a stone vase for flowers.
