A translucent insulated glass panel includes first and second glass plates separated from one another by a spacer. Together with the spacer, the first and second glass plates form a closed cavity. The closed cavity is filled with a translucent insulating material, preferably an aerogel material. The latter is in a compressed state, so that it will not settle over the course of time to produce an empty space or gap at the top of the panel.

1. A translucent insulated glass panel, said glass panel comprising: a first glass plate, said first glass plate having preselected dimensions and area and having two faces, said first glass plate having outer edges, said outer edges defining a perimeter of said first glass plate;a spacer, said spacer being elongated and having a width and a first side and a second side, said first side of said spacer being attached to one of said two faces of said first glass plate inward of said outer edges, said spacer forming a continuous closed path on said first glass plate;a second glass plate, said second glass plate having preselected dimensions and area substantially identical to said preselected dimensions and area of said first glass plate, said second glass plate having two faces and outer edges, said outer edges defining a perimeter of said second glass plate, one of said two faces of said second glass plate being attached to said second side of said spacer, said spacer being inward of said edges of said second glass plate, said spacer and first and second glass plates thereby forming a closed cavity between said first and second glass plates;a translucent insulating material, said translucent insulating material being a particulate material and filling said cavity between said first and second glass plates, said translucent insulating material being in a compressed state whereby said cavity holds a greater amount of translucent insulating material than said cavity would hold if said translucent insulating material were in an uncompressed state; andat least one connector disposed within the closed cavity between the first and second glass plates, the connector being connected to each of the first and second glass plates, the connector being arranged to permit the translucent insulating material to flow around the connector when the cavity is being filled with the translucent insulating material. 2. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a sealant, said sealant covering said spacer between said edges of said first and second glass plates. 3. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 wherein said first glass plate and said second glass plate are of low-iron glass. 4. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 wherein said spacer is of a polymer foam. 5. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 4 wherein said spacer includes a desiccant. 6. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 4 wherein said spacer includes an aluminum foil backing layer. 7. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 wherein said spacer is collapsed from an initially collapsible state, whereby, upon being collapsed, said translucent insulating material is placed into said compressed state. 8. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 7 wherein said spacer includes a deformable metallic member. 9. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 8 wherein said deformable metallic member is of aluminum. 10. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 wherein said translucent insulating material is an aerogel. 11. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 wherein said translucent insulating material in said compressed state occupies a volume at least 10% smaller than it would occupy in an uncompressed state. 12. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a window therewithin, said window being free of translucent insulating material so as to be a transparent region within said translucent insulated glass panel, said window having a frame, said frame having at least one frame member bonded to said one of said two faces of said first glass plate within said cavity and to said one of said two faces of said second glass plate within said cavity, said at least one frame member forming said frame so as to keep a region within said cavity free of translucent insulating material. 13. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 12 wherein said at least one frame member is an elongated frame member, said elongated frame member having a pair of parallel planar members joined by a connecting member, one of said pair of parallel planar members being bonded to said one of said two faces of said first glass plate within said cavity and the other of said pair of parallel planar members being bonded to said one of said two faces of said second glass plate within said cavity. 14. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 12 wherein said at least one frame member is an elongated spacer, said elongated spacer having a width and a first side and a second side, said first side of said elongated spacer being attached to said one of said two faces of said first glass plate within said cavity and said second side of said elongated spacer being attached to said one of said two faces of said second glass plate within said cavity. 15. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a plurality of compression clips, said compression clips having a substantially U-shaped cross section and extending from said first glass plate to said second glass plate, said compression clips pushing said first glass plate and said second glass plate toward one another, thereby placing said translucent insulating material into said compressed state. 16. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 15 wherein said compression clips are elongated. 17. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 15 wherein said plurality of compression clips extend around said perimeters of said first and second glass plates. 18. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 15 wherein said compression clips are of stainless steel. 19. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 15 wherein said compression clips are of extruded aluminum. 20. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 15 wherein said compression clips are of an extruded plastic material. 21. A translucent insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 20 wherein said plastic material is polyvinyl chloride (PVC). 22. A translated insulated glass panel as claimed in claim 15 wherein said compression clips are of a pultruded composite material. 23. The A translucent insulated glass panel of claim 1, wherein the connector includes a pair of opposed first and second parallel planar members, each of the parallel planar members being connected to one of the first and second glass plates. 24. The translucent insulated glass panel of claim 23, wherein the pair of opposed first and second parallel planar members are connected to each other by a connector. 25. The translucent insulated glass panel of claim 1, wherein an unobstructed 360° path is defined about the connector within the closed cavity to permit the translucent insulating material to flow around the connector when the cavity is being filled with the translucent insulating material.
