Review: Fun and cool - This is amazing. Bought for my husband as he's always wanted it and it's just so cool. Definitely fragile so don't squeeze, etc . Size was decent.
Review: Satisfied - This stuff is neat! The chunk I received is shaped like a rock and roughly silver dollar size. It's super lightweight and you can see through it. I've always wanted to hold this space age stuff in my hand and now I can. If you're into fascinating science, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this. Great for kids for show and tell at school or for any collector of space related stuff.

## Features

- Aerogels are the world's lightest, least dense solids, consisting of up to 99.8% air, and have been recognized with entries in the Guinness Book of World Records.
- This silica-based aerogel is hydrophobic (repels water) and has an incredibly low density. We include chunks of different sizes, with more than one between 0.5 and 1.5 inch
- NASA used aerogel to capture space dust in the STARDUST mission, where the aerogel gently slowed and trapping high-velocity particles of comet dust without damaging them!
- Our silica aerogel has an ethereal, translucent look with an opalescent, soft blue tint, resembling "frozen smoke" or a "solid cloud."
- Aerogel is a powerful insulator, and NASA also uses it to protect the Mars Exploration Rovers (Perseverance, Curiosity, Spirit, and Opportunity) from the harsh elements in space!
