Why does this charge appear?

CuriosityStream uses the truncated billing descriptor "CURIOSITY STREAM*" because payment processors like Stripe and major card networks enforce strict character limits on statement descriptors, typically capping them at around 22 characters, which means the company's name gets shortened and formatted with a space and asterisk to fit within that constraint. The asterisk you see between "CURIOSITY STREAM" and any additional text is a standard separator used by payment processors to divide the merchant name from a sub-descriptor, such as a product tier or billing cycle identifier. If you recently signed up for CuriosityStream's documentary or science streaming service, whether on the $3.99 basic plan or the $9.99 premium tier, this descriptor is confirmation that your subscription billing is active.
