[QUOTE="Halbhh, post: 77199501, member: 375234"] While of course we are literally the observers, so that redshift is relative to us (naturally the only possible kind of 'redshift' is that relative to a point of observation), the standard conception is that [I]anywhere else -- any location [/I]in the Universe -- would also see the same degree of redshift of distant galaxies (the same proportionality: the degree of redshift relative to distance) alike to what we see from our point of observation. Does that clear up the question? (if you'd like to hear how astronomers figured out the relation between degree of redshift and distance, that's an interesting topic, and it begins with just pure trigonometry for nearby objects like nearby stars and then progresses from that to next using a ladder of standard objects that have known brightness so that their apparent brightness indicates their distance) [/QUOTE]
