Interstellar Dust and Gas in the Heliosphere
  Interstellar dust and gas that enter the heliosphere provide us with
important clues about both the heliosphere and the local interstellar medium
(LISM). The picture we have of the Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC) from both
\emph{in situ} detections and absorption line data presents questions that have
important implications for the origins and evolution of the cloud. New
detections of $^{60}$Fe on Earth in deep sea crusts and Antarctic snow cores
provide evidence for the role of supernovae in shaping the LISM. We discuss our
models for the evolution of the LIC inside the Local Bubble and possible
explanations for the source of the supernova produced dust.
