Determining the properties of our own zodiacal cloud beyond the asteroid belt is extremely challenging from our vantage point at 1 AU. Material located within 1-3 AU of the Sun so dominates the emission that it is nearly impossible to determine the amount of more distant material. Yet this information is critical to understanding the relative contributions to the zodiacal cloud of asteroidal and cometary debris as well as of interstellar material. Utilization of instruments on spacecraft going to the outer solar system could add substantially to our knowledge of the evolution and spatial distribution of dust in the solar system. I will compare our knowledge of the dust in our own solar system to that gained from observations toward other stars.
