If its a Deep Space Objects (extrasolar) addon like a nebula for instance then just unzip it in the "extras" folder which is "CelestiaResources" folder.
It is advisable to create a folder called "Addons" or whatever you like so you can move them out of the way if you are updating to a later version, then put it back in the extras folder.
It should look like this
CelestiaResources
extras
Addons
NGC something nebula
For Textures if it is an ordinary texture like an 8k earth then put it the hires folder
It should look like
CelestiaResources
textures
Hires
earth.jpg
If the name of the texture has something other than the name of the planet or moon e.g. "earth8k.jpg or "mars _terraform.jpg"
change it to "earth.jpg" and "mars.jpg" and you will be fine.
To load the new texture press the "R" button and to go back press the "r" button.
To view a Deep Space Objects toggle the "U" button to turn them on and off.
