Phinds is correct. If you could magically transport instantaneously to a galaxy 12 billion light years distant, the universe would look like it does from our vantage point - 13.7 billion years old and homogenously filled with galaxies. Of course the star, or whatever you thought you were transporting to, would be long gone since all that stuff would have been on the move for 12 billion years. This is a problem with instantaneous transport. If you instantaneously transported to some apparent location on the moon, the moon will have moved about 1.3 seconds by the time you arrived. How far does the moon move in 1.3 seconds? That gets rather complicated. The moon has an orbital velocity of about 1 km/sec. OK, that doesn't sound too awful, you would only miss your target by about 1300 meters. But that isn't the end of the story. The moon orbits the Earth which orbits the sun. Orbital velocity of the Earth is about 28 km/sec. And the sun orbits the milky way at about 220 km/sec, and the milky way orbits the local group, and the local group orbits the Virgo supercluster, and so forth. Relative to the CMB, we are hurtling through space at around 600 km/sec. In other words, everything in the universe moves relatively quickly, and in complicated fashion in the mere span of 1.3 seconds. In terms of any absolute coordinate system, there is no telling where you might end up relative to your target on the moon. Depending on how the various directions of movement components conspire to shift things, you might rematerialize hundreds of kilometers below the surface of the moon, miss it entirely, or anything in between.
