Default Astronomers discover largest-ever dark matter structures spanning270M light-years

A University of British Columbia astronomer with an international team
has discovered the largest structures of dark matter ever seen.

Measuring 270 million light-years across, these dark matter structures
criss-cross the night sky, each spanning an area that is eight times
larger than the full moon.

Are they in different times (different ages) or are they in the same time
(the same age)? And is the time, or are the times (if times (ages)),
relative or absolute? Are some of the structures the same structure at
different points in time or all of them different structures at one and the
same point in time?
