What if?
If we could see light at the radio end of the spectrum, what would we see? I mean would we see waves overlaying the what is currently visible light. Presumably we'd be able to see through most solid objects, just curious, gave it some though myself but can't really imagine.

From closer, more real sources you have the sun, but i'm not sure how much radio frequency we get through the atmosphere, and the magnetosphere.
It would be interesting if we could see pulsars that lay inside our own galaxy, which are neutron stars spinning so that they emmit pulsing radiowaves based off their magnetic axis. Although it might be quiet annoying as well, constant piffs of brightness in your vision would make you go mad i would think.
