Global visibility of naked singularities is analyzed here for a class of spherically symmetric spacetimes, extending previous studies—limited to inhomogeneous dust cloud collapse—to more physical valid situations in which pressures are non-vanishing. Existence of nonradial geodesics escaping from the singularity is shown, and the observability of the singularity from far-away observers is discussed.
