... that according to the author of Stuff Matters, holding a sample of an aerogel is "like holding a piece of sky"?

Source: "Most people will never hold a piece of aerogel in their hand, but those who do never forget it. It is a unique experience. There is no weight to it that you can perceive, and its edges fade away so imperceptibly that is impossible to see where the material stops and the air begins. Add to this its ghostly blue color and it really is like holding a piece of sky." Miodownik, Mark. Jan.-Feb. 2015. "Like Holding a Piece of Sky". American Scientist. Vol. 103. No. 1. pp 60-65. (The first page indicates "Excerpted from Stuff Matters by Mark Miodownik")
