Combined heliosphere-astronomical data and models enrich our understandingboth of effects the solar galactic environment might have on the innerheliosphere, and of interstellar clouds. Present data suggest that FeII/DIincreases toward the upwind direction of the cluster of interstellar clouds(CLIC) flowing past the Sun. Cloud kinematics and abundances suggest an originrelated to a supershell around the Scorpius-Centaurus Association. The solarspace trajectory indicates the Sun entered the CLIC gas relatively recently.Comment: 3rd Annual IGPP-UCR Astrophysics Conference: Physics of the Outer Heliosphere [AIP
