Here is why the expansion would look similar.
This is an example taken from Hawking. Imagine that you are baking and that you are making raisin bread. At first the raisins are closely packed together as the dough is small barely taking space in the bottom of the pan. However, as the bread rises each raisin is moving away from each other raisin. Imagine that if you were any raisin in that rising bread you would only see every raisin moving away from you. we are like the raisin, no matter where you were the view would be everything moving away from you.

Think of galaxies as dots on a balloon. As you blow up the balloon, each dot moves away from each other dot. No dot is at the center.
Space is actually expanding everywhere. Don't think of it as an explosion like a bomb. The galaxies do not move thru space. The space itself is expanding.

It would look real similar.

'cause you cannot see the movement?
