Milky Way

everyday life 1 Minute

I saw it on Monday!!! I’ve seen it only a handful of times in my life, and Monday was one of them! I got out on the balcony around 5 AM to water the flowers (otherwise I forget to do it before the day’s heat), and I noticed the stars were very bright, the sky was clear, and I could see way more constellations than usual. And then I thought: how come I see this strange white cloud? Then I realized the “cloud” formed a circle, and it wasn’t a cloud!

The pictures make the sky look dark blue and make the Milky Way look like a cloud, which was not the case. It was almost black, and the Milky Way looked magical.

That’s how many stars I saw!

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
