Béatrice St-Cyr-Leroux’s bio says she’s a communications advisor at University of Montréal. She is not an astrophysicist and I’m not even sure she has a science education. Most of her articles have nothing to do with astrophysics and cosmology. Her past employment seems to have been web designer.

The word "universe" is usually defined as everything that exists, so it is a contradiction of terms to claim to see objects or anything beyond the supposed "edge" of the universe.
That means that we are not seeing the edge but only further into the universe.
From the very top of the article:
JANUARY 21, 2024
James Webb Space Telescope: Finally, the edge of the universe and beyond
by Béatrice St-Cyr-Leroux, University of Montreal
She should raise a strong objection to the title if she didn't write it, as it is done in her name, and if she did (which is also a possibility) then wth is she doing writing such bullshit headlines?
