Cosmic microwave background observations

TL;DR

CMB from other galaxies

If my understanding is correct... From Earth the cmb is fairly uniform around us.

From a galaxy that is 12 billion light years away, would they also see a uniform distribution of the cmb? to add to that question, would the radiation be less redshifted.

From my understanding on why we aren't the center of the universe, I would think that they would also see an even distribution but I don't know if the light would be less red shifted. While writing this though, it also makes sense that it wouldn't be less redshifted.

any input would be appreciated. thanks!

It would also be uniform. Your 12 billion light years I am guessing you are taking as a figure that is slightly under the 13.8 billion year history of the universe. This does not mean the universe is only 13.8 billion light years across it is far bigger. The picture you would get I imagine would be very similar to the one we have if not identicle. Likewise the CMB is coming from everywhere so the red shift should be the same also as I understand it.

On large scales, the universe is homogeneous and CMB that we observe indicates that it is also isotropic. That means there is no preferred place or direction in the universe. There is no reason to think that CMB looks differently at any other place in the universe (except the small irregularities).

The uniformity of the radiation we can detect is a fantastic 'proof' / strong suggestion that everything started of under the same conditions at the same time and in the same very small space. That must have been a very satisfying message for the 'Big Bang' theorists at the time.
It's strange how something as momentous as that is relatively easy to comprehend.
