To use the tags-browser, remember to install `debtags'. In aptitude,
press F10 to get the menu bar, scroll to `View' (using arrow keys,
mouse, or what ever), and select the entry `New Debtags Browser'. Now
scroll down, press Enter on `field', and press Enter on `astronomy'.
That should give you a rather long list (I haven't counted them).
Pressing `+' on the `astronomy' line should mark all packages for
installation. Of course, you can not make boolean queries like
tag LIKE field::astronomy AND NOT tag LIKE game::*
which I guess some of the more dedicated tools can do.
Yours,
