Human beings have limited sensitivity ranges in their five senses.
For example, dogs have more sensitive noses for detecting faint odors. Bees can see in ultraviolet light while humans can not. Bats and dolphins can hear at much higher frequencies than humans. In order to extend the senses, humans have made devices that expand our sensitivity ranges and report back in ways that we can perceive. Scientists hope to give us X-ray pictures of the inner structures of solar flares .
