Recent studies of the local interstellar medium have identified regions of nearby cold neutral gas with unexpected low temperatures and high pressures well within the boundaries of the local cavity (Meyer et al., 2006). Now, a multi-wavelength study of the local Leo cold cloud (LLCC) has strengthened our understanding of this apparent conflict with the conventional view of this environment (Peek et al., 2011, Meyer et al., 2012). The soft X-ray background observed here cannot be completely accounted for by a local hot bubble model (Snowden et al., 2015). Interstellar absorption of Na I (D2 λ5889.591 and D1 λ5895.924) was …
