[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A thermally insulating glass panel comprising:first and second spaced apart glass substrates defining a low pressure space therebetween having a pressure less than atmospheric pressure;a first plurality of spacers disposed between said fist and second glass substrates for spacing said substrates from one another in order to maintain said low pressure space therebetween;a hermetic peripheral seal including at least one sealing material; anda second plurality of spacers for spacing said substrates from one another, at least some of said spacers of said second plurality being in contact with and embedded within said sealing material.
