English often is capitalized, because in most cases it is a proper noun or adj. Astronomical not so much, but if it is in the title of a book, poem, film, etc. it would be capitalized. Of course it depends a lot on your style sheet; AP/UPI style, and all forms of down style, use less capitalization. English lit style requires more capitalization.
When either word is first word in a quote, first word in a sentence, or first word in a line of a traditional poem it would be capitalized. Site listed below gives more of the rules.

Yes, they are called Proper Adjectives. They are derived from Proper Nouns. France is a Proper Noun. French is a Proper Adjective. Italy is a Proper Noun and Italian is a Proper Adjective.

You will only use a capital letter if it uses a proper name - as is the example you gave - in "English" but not "astronomical". Similarly, "Victorian" would have a capital but "lunar" wouldn't
