Abstract
We analyse Hubble Space Telescope GHRS observations of the interstellar medium in the direction to ϵ CMa, the strongest EUV source in the sky located 200 pc away in a region deficient in neutral gas. We show that the neutral gas density is the lowest yet measured in a galactic sight-line. The line of sight contains three main components among which the Local Cloud, and we derive their column densities, their velocity their temperature and their turbulence velocity. We discuss the ionization of the Local Cloud and we show that we detect the conductive interface between diffuse local cloud and the hot local bubble.
