Syn: Inquiring; prying; curious; meddling; intrusive.
Usage: {Inquisitive}, {Curious}, {Prying}. Curious denotes a
feeling, and inquisitive a habit. We are curious when
we desire to learn something new; we are inquisitive
when we set ourselves to gain it by inquiry or
research. Prying implies inquisitiveness, and is more
commonly used in a bad sense, as indicating a desire
to penetrate into the secrets of others.
[1913 Webster]

What happens new. --Milton.

The distant skies, to find the Milky Way.
