What conditions lead you to see an absorption line spectrum from a cloud of gas in interstellar space?

The actual presence of the gas cloud's contents will absorb certain wavelengths of Light, preventing the passage of certain photons through the cloud, that results in that Light not reaching us - producing a blank line in the observed spectrum.

Is the Local Interstellar Cloud influencing temperatures on Earth?
A December 23, 2009 article at science.nasa.gov says that the Local Interstellar Cloud has a temperature of 6,000 degrees Celsius. This is approximately the same temperature as the surface of the Sun. Is this influencing temperatures on Earth? I don't know.
Is the nebula a bone?
No, The nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen gas, helium gas and plasma. Look on Wikipedia.
