Just because it can't say 'moo' or move anymore, it's very nice for the human eye, but the animal is alive and the scientists don't actually know if it's suffering or not.
Scanning over a wide area, though, is challenging because of the amount of territory that must be reviewed, the limited field of view of the human eye, and the effects of fatigue.
The UCLA team describes a new kind of polymer solar cell (PSC) that produces energy by absorbing mainly infrared light, not visible light, making the cells nearly 70% transparent to the human eye.

These so-called quantitative traits are under the control of a number of different genes acting in concert as opposed to qualitative traits such as human eye colour, where a difference in a single gene produces a single, sharp distinction.
Mercury arc lamps (the kind used in football stadiums) are not much better, since they emit a lot of ultraviolet light, which contributes to astronomers' woes without illuminating the action in a way that the human eye can detect.
