The milky way galaxy appears like a white glowing river in the sky on a clear night.It is called

Aakash Ganga in Hindi.It is compared with the river Ganga and since it can be seen

in the sky, the word Aakash ,meaning sky in Hindi is added before Ganga.

So, it means the river Ganga in the sky or Aakash.
