As a key program of 100YSS™ the awards supports the long-term international initiative to ensure that the capabilities for human interstellar travel, beyond our solar system to another star, exist within the next 100 years. The Canopus Award’s namesake is the second brightest star in the night sky.

Look Up: One Sky™
LOOK UP™ is a global movement with the mission to promote a collective understanding that we are all members of the human race and we all go throughout our days under the same sky.
One Sky. One Earth. One Humanity.
This year during Nexus™ 2023 we invite the world to participate by coming together with family, friends, and community to create a Sky Tapestry™ woven from what we see, feel, think, love, fear, offer, need, fret & hope when we look up at the sky.
Look Up One Sky™ is a Global Event hosted from Nairobi, Kenya!
