Well I got this one wrong but I vaguely remember that baby Hercules suckled too strongly on Hera's breast, she withdrew and her milk sprayed across the sky, creating the milky way. That's the link I should have found, I think!

Really "out there" clever question. At first they seem to nothing to do with each other, but, of course, our galaxy is the Milky Way. It's called the Milky Way because in the night sky it appears as a hazy, milky band across theult

Other than the candy bar name, I don't see similarities. milk is white, moon is white. Thats the similarity that could be seen before telescopes or other magnification was around. galaxies, novas, etc are much newer discoveries, not known to those drawing the things in common.
