Flammarion. A medieval monk penetrates the point where the bowl of the sky meets the horizon, and discovers an unknown world of astronomical wonders. Flammarion is often used to illustrate curiosity, exploration, and discovery. The original black and white engraving was published in 1888 by Camille Flammarion in his L'Atmosphere - Meteorologie Populaire.

Curiosity is an innate human trait whose regular exercise gives us joy, helps us solve problems, and can smooth the path of our social interactions. Curious Dust aims to help teachers foster that regular exercise in their learners and in themselves.
