AbstractFour different data sets pertaining to the neutral atom environment at 1 AU are presented and discussed. These data sets include neutral solar wind and interstellar neutral atom data from IMAGE/LENA, energetic hydrogen atom data from SOHO/HSTOF and plasma wave data from the magnetometer on ISEE-3. Surprisingly, these data sets are centered between 262° and 292° ecliptic longitude, ∼10–40° from the upstream interstellar neutral (ISN) flow direction at 254° resulting from the motion of the Sun relative to the local interstellar cloud (LIC). Some possible explanations for this offset, none of which is completely satisfactory, are discussed.
