This problem can be answered from basic physics.

How do you see? - Because the eye responds to electro-magnetic radiation in the visible range to give us the sensation of sight

Where does this electro magnetic radiation come from? - From radiations from the object or reflection from an external radiation source.

For our direct eye vision the object will need to be illuminated from an outside source eg the Sun or have some external lighting of its own. Its radiations in other parts of the spectrum will not be visible to the eye.

However , if you are travelling in space and another object is there, your ship will undoubtedly have sensors that respond to all sorts of electro-magnetic radiations. These radiations will be displayed as visible images in your “spaceship” on a screen. So in the comfort of your space ship you will have images of all your surroundings.
