Detailed explanation-1: -The Milky Way gets its name from a Greek myth about the goddess Hera who sprayed milk across the sky. In other parts of the world, our galaxy goes by other names. In China it’s called the “Silver River, ” and in the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa, it’s called the “Backbone of Night.”
Detailed explanation-2: -Milky Way galaxy is often known as Akash Ganga in Hindi. This is because at the clear night, the entire galaxy looks like a white and wide river especially like River Ganga. This river shaped being in the sky is named as Akash which means sky. This is why it is called as Akash Ganga.
Detailed explanation-3: -"The term was in common use in Western astronomy 2, 500 years ago, ” Stanley said, referring to stargazers in European countries. “So there’s no way of knowing who first coined it and how it first came to be. It’s one of those terms that’s so old that its origin is generally forgotten by now."
