The nearby galactic environment of the Sun is dominated by the low density magnetized interstellar material (ISM) in the Local Bubble void. The Sun has recently entered a flow of ISM originating from the direction of the Loop I superbubble, which may related to the Loop I superbubble itself. The physical properties of the cloud forming the outer boundary conditions of the heliosphere have changed several times during the past 100,000 years. Interstellar ionization, density, and magnetic field all affect the heliosphere response to interstellar material, as well as the flux of galactic cosmic rays at the Earth. Galactic cosmic rays at the Earth are traced by the geologic records for 10Be and 14C. Are we able to identify the properties of the clouds previously encountered by the Sun well enough to match the geologic radio isotope records with astronomical transitions? How well can we identify the next cloud the Sun encounters, in the less than 3700 years? The answer to these questions will be discussed. This research is supported by NASA.
