IUE and Copernicus results are compared, for studies of the very local interstellar medium. Despite its lower resolution, IUE produces results of comparable quality, giving important confirmation of Copernicus results on the density, temperature, turbulence, and deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio in the region within ≡10 pc of the sun. The stars observed are in a very low-density quarter of the galaxy: multi-component structure seen in other directions may not be present in the direction of most of our observed stars. The exceedingly low densities observed in certain directions encourages the idea that EUV (λ < 912 Å) studies of certain normal stars may be possible.
