ABSTRACT:An observational review on H I in the Galaxy is presented. Attention is
given to observations of interstellar atomic hydrogen from Lyman-alpha and
the 21-cm line through indirect tracers such as dust and gamma rays; to what
can be learned from such observations; to what the H I sky looks like; and to
the state of knowledge in this area and the future
prospects.
Consideration is also given to results from recent H I investigations that bear on two
important areas: the spatial organization of interstellar H I and its vertical
distribution in the Galaxy.
