I’m just glad she’s alive, the article made me think she was no longer alive.

Reading the last paragraph, I did not come away with the same impression you did: "Regina is now a photography technician at Barnet and Southgate College."

I think OP meant the past tense they used when talking about Regina. The last paragraph did clear the confusion.

And the fact that it was "discovered" which makes it sound like it was found in a dead person's lab or something. The article really gives the impression that she's dead, which is odd if that's not what is intended.

Yes, the article is definitely in need of an editor's touch.

The sentence "She placed a can on one of the Observatory’s telescopes, which had been forgotten about until September this year ..." makes it sound like it was the telescope that had been forgotten.
