How to read the star catalog

[OrangKaya]

Hello expert

I have downloaded several star catalog. But how can I open the file? How can I read the file? I would like to see the positioning of the stars.

I would also like to know the distance and angle between stars.

If anyone here know, would appreciate if you can share. I have tried to google but cannot find one.

Thanks.

1. this should be in astronomy

2. you aren't communicating what specific software you're trying to use

3. it is probably trivial to find the answer, try using a more focused search, asterisks, etc.
